Diss Town’s recent impressive improved home form came to an end on Saturday when they were beaten by Cornard United. It was the first home defeat since league leaders Newmarket won at Brewers Green Lane on 15th November. It ended a run of six wins and a draw from seven games. Danny Partridge and George Wilson replaced Andy Moody and Mark Fowler in the starting line up.
Cornard led by two goals at the interval and the frustration at the decisions made and how the game was going cost five cautions for dissent and ended with a sending off for key midfield player Luke Catchpole. Dan Price outpaced Ed Cussons down the Diss left in the 4th minute and crossed low for Ben Lawson to shoot in to make it 1-0. Jake Berry was high with a chance in the early stages for Diss but The Tangerines were showing no signs that the wind at their backs was an advantage. Matty Hill pushed away a header from Sam Holman at a corner as the visitors showed that they were looking to score goals. The second goal came in the 43rd minute from a free kick. Carters shot in from fully 35 yards out with the home defence in disarray and goalkeeper Hill a mere spectator. There was little improvement in the second half from The Tangerines. Things became worse when a foul on Catchpole in the 62nd minute went unpunished and he was sent off for his reaction. Diss began to increase the pace of their play and pulled a goal back in the 73rd minute. Cussons linked up with Berry to release Partridge to cross low for Ben Soanes to steer the ball in from close range. Soanes was only just wide and Steve Best forced goalkeeper Darren Moyes into a late save as Diss attempted to rescue a point. |
