An understrength Lantoom Park outfit struggled against their classy opponents who ran the game for most of the contest.

However, it was the home side who drew first blood when their man of the match Steve Green drove home after scramble following a corner by Antos Andrews.

A miss-hit shot from Buckingham looped over the 'keeper to level the scores on the half hour and within five minutes two defensive errors gave the current league champions a two goal cushion.

Dobwalls made a tactical change at half time but they were dealt a cruel blow after only five minutes of the second period when Andy Hill and Jeremy Rendle both had to leave the field after sustaining bad injuries, Hill pulling his hamstring and Rendle sufering a groin strain.

Dobwalls reshuffled bringing on two youngsters, Chris Young making his debut for the club, and Stewart Dunn, who is recovery after missing most of last season with a back injury.

They caused their illustrious opponents several problems with their extra pace but couldn't reduce the arrears.

Biscovey extended the lead from a set-piece and could have scored more if it were not for Karl Roberts, who made a number of fine saves.

Steve Green shone for Dobwalls, as did Simon Fisher, who had a couple of fierce headers saved by the visiting goalkeeper. Dobwalls have a free week this coming weekend.
