Magpies 2–3 New Bradwell St Peter

Oct 10 2011 By Greg Burns

AMERSHAM threw away a two-goal lead to slump to back-to-back league defeats for the first time this season.

The Magpies took the lead after nine minutes when a New Bradwell clearance fell to Martin Griggs who finished well past goalkeeper James Howarth.

The St Peter stopper foiled Wes Sutherland on the half-hour mark as he met a Ricci Putnam cross and kept his side in the game again minutes later when Reon Thomas unleashed a low strike.

But Chris Martin's side deservedly doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time when Thomas made no mistake from close range.

The visitors looked dead and buried but pulled a goal back on 56 minutes through Jim Smith and levelled three minutes later when Shaun Carr raced onto a route-one ball to finish smartly.

New Bradwell were now on top and won all three points on 71 minutes when Ben Hill netted from the spot.
