Pinchbeck suffer double late heartbreak

Goals in the closing minutes twice wrecked Pinchbeck United’s hopes of points in the United Counties League
After falling 2-1 at Dunkirk to a late strike, the same thing happened at Harrowby United on Tuesday with a 3-2 defeat. JJ Ward and Louie Garner put the Knights 2-0 up but the hosts hit back with two goals in seven minutes before the late sucker punch.
The Knights had created plenty of chances at Dunkirk but fell behind early in the second half. They looked to have grabbed a point when Josh Panton delivered a corner to the back post and Lynden Huggins stabbed the ball in, despite laying on the ground after a scramble.
That looked to be good enough for a deserved point but the hosts scored again with just two minutes to go to grab all three points.
Pinchbeck have the chance to forget about their relegation battle on Saturday when they travel to Skegness Town in the quarter-finals of the Lincolnshire County FA Senior Trophy.
