Plowright gets the winner for Dunstable

Warren Plowright scored the only goal of the game as Dunstable Town enjoyed a 1-0 win at Molten Spartan SML Premier Division side Berkhamsted in their pre-season friendly on Saturday.

The hosts had former Blues players Jack Copson, Courtney Massey and BJ Christie in their side, while Nathan Frater and Tony Burnett returned for Dunstable.

A fast opening saw Terry Dixon’s shot deflected behind, while Elliot Sandy sent a header wide.

In the second half, Dunstable had the edge as Frater shot wide, while Charlie Henry was denied by a fine save as was Adam Watkins.

The only goal of the game arrived on 70 minutes when Chris Marsh’s cross found the industrious Plowright whose firm shot took a deflection and deceived Carl Tasker to hit the net.
