2 – 3
“Tom Purrington fires Dorchester Town into a 1-0 lead against the run of a goalless first half.”
PivotalBrixham and Dorchester Town played out a cagey first half with neither side able to find a breakthrough, but the game burst into life after the interval. Tom Purrington's 57th-minute strike opened the scoring for Dorchester Town, and the visitors capitalised to build what looked like a commanding lead before Brixham mounted a spirited fightback that fell just short at 2-3. For Dorchester Town, progressing in the FA Cup against higher-positioned opposition represents a real scalp, while Brixham will rue a slow start that ultimately cost them the tie despite their late rally. The result adds a shock element to this season's cup run and will give Dorchester Town belief heading into the next round.
