Balti Sports were formed and their named after a bunch lads used to go to the local Balti after the matches, whilst their visitors are nicknamed the Cherries.

Today the two sides met the Dorset Premier League Cup, with the visitors in fine form sitting second in the league table, whilst the homesters have lost a couple of games recently.

The game began and the visitors were being matched by Sports and it was the home side who created the first two corners of the match, but on 16 minutes with the visitors first chance of the game,  a csroos from the left wing to the far post  was tapped back for BUDDY OSHEA to net to put the Cherries in front.

Balti possibly had their best period of the game but wasnt really crating too many clear cut chances, until the 26th minute, when DEREK WALL turned his defender and fired home from 25 yards to equalise.

This seemed to awaken the visitors as they began to pass the ball around the pitch and in the 37th minute, a nice move dwn the left hand side saw the ball played across for ELLIOTT BEVIS to fire home.

Just before half time, the home keeper went down injured but was able to carry on.

The Second Half kicked off and the visitors looked more dangerous and on 48 minutes exended their lead to 3-1 when JAMIE DANORIS cut in and fire in.

Balti made changes and pressed forward but this left gaps to which the visitors exploited and after 57 minutes extended their lead, when a corner from the right hand side was volleyed home by NEIL SWEATMAN.

Balti had a few chances but they went high and wide but they didnt give up trying, but on 68 minute, a Cherriesball was played from the left for JAMIE DANORIS to complete the scoring.

After 73 minutes, the home keeper had to be replaced and the sub keeper did very well to block and throw his body at anything that came his way.

The tie was a good one played in the right respectable manner between two teams that wanted to play football and a credit to the Dorset Premier League.
