Lennon snatches winner in stoppage-time

10:57pm Tuesday 25th September 2007

Stourport Swifts 1, Evesham United 2 Substitute Daniel Lennon grabbed the winner four minutes into injury-time to inflict more misery on struggling Swifts in the Errea Cup first round.

Former Evesham striker Wesley Joyce had blasted the hosts into the lead after 16 minutes and it looked like being enough as the Robins wasted numerous chances to get on level terms.

However, Lennon converted Mark Owen's cross six minutes from time and, with extra-time looming, he raced clear to slide the winner past Craig Humphries.

Allando Davis hit the Stourport bar after five minutes and Humphries tipped over Danny Hodnett's 25-yarder.

Danny Scheppel missed United's best chances in the first half and, when Humphries saved superbly from Tom Warmer, a welcome win seemed certain for Phil Mullen's side.

Lennon levelled with a neat finish and Michael Hayden then saw a chip cleared off the line in the final minute before Lennon netted on the break to see the injury-ravaged visitors into round two.
