Aveley 3, Kingstonian 4
BY COLIN MUNFORD
A DEFLECTED Dean Lodge strike two minutes into stoppage time sealed a dramatic winner for the K’s.
The visitors could have had an early lead but they failed to take advantage of Ollie-Morris Sanders inability to grasp the ball.
But from then on the home side dominated the half and took a deserved lead after half an hour.
Ryan Doyle’s delivery was flicked on by Ryan Edgar and Steve Butterworth poked in from close range.
But K’s drew level on the stroke of half time as Mo Harkin’s shot came back off the post and Carl Wilson-Denis was first to respond to the loose ball and fire home.
Aveley took the lead after the restart when Butterworth’s ball over the top found Sherwin Stanley who lobbed keeper Rob Tolfrey and into the net.
The Millers continued in the ascendancy and doubled their lead six minutes later when Kingstonian could only clear Steve Butterworth’s delivery to Nicky Symons who headed it back into the box and Edgar was on hand to head home.
Aveley looked home and dry until skipper Ryan Doyle handled in the box and Traynor coolly converted.
Kingstonian upped their game and drew level with nine minutes left when Traynor doubled his tally heading home Wilson-Denis’ header.
And the Millers were dealt a hammer blow in time added on when Lodge inadvertently deflected a fierce shot home for all three points.
