Troke netted again on 38 minutes, but Carlton's lead was quickly extinguished thanks to Rhead's first of the match. However, the hosts, who play in the Evo-Stik Division One (South) led 3-2 at the interval courtesy of Josh Thornton's near-post header. Ruben Wiggins-Thomas struck just after the hour mark, before Danny Elliott looked to have sealed an impressive win for the hosts, when he made it 5-2. However, Mansfield were not to be beaten as Junior Daniel's brilliant solo strike reduced the deficit to 5-3 with a quarter-of-an-hour left. Substitute Trovarn Damar-Thomson added another moments later, before helping The Stags to complete the comeback by winning a penalty, which Rhead converted. Team: Waldram, Simpson (Spencer), Gregory (Trialist), Birch, Marsden, Dyer, Murray (c), Stevenson, Daniel, Speight (Damar-Thomson), Rhead. -------------------- note by Martin: Goalkeeper Liam Mitchell, extraordinarily played FOR the Stags reserves on Tuesday afternoon against Doncaster, and then played AGAINST the Stags reserves for Carlton Town the same evening. ------------------- |
