Despite losing a man early, Dan Mason and Reece Wylie fired Sholing to dramatic 3-2 victory over Weymouth
After huge pressure in the Weymouth box, Dan Mason capitalised on an opening in the defence which left Ben Clarke stranded and Sholing leading, 16 minutes in.
Courtesy of Harry Taylor’s sending off for a handball in the box, Jake McCarthy sent King the wrong way from twelve yards to level matters.
The pain worsened for the Boatmen as Michael Folivi, scorer of over twenty goals last season, had to leave the field for Gianni Crichlow, Sholing’s second first half change.
The momentum going into the break fell the way of the Terras, who took the lead with after Rueben Reid’s free header from inside the box found it’s way into the Sholing net.
Crichlow created all the excitement for the home fans in the early part of the second half, but the net wasn’t found.
After Weymouth had scuppered several chances to make it three, Reece Wylie took it upon himself to smash a left footed half volley into the top corner, earning his side a deserved leveller.
Sholing sensed there was another goal in the tie for them and in the absence of Folivi, Mason took the mantle and scored his second of the game, turning the game on its head with less than ten minutes to go and the points were theirs.
