A POINT after coming from behind with only 10 men would normally be viewed as a satisfactory result, but such was Chippenham's first-half dominance in the they will view this as two points dropped.

Half-time substitute Matt Jones not only conceded a penalty on 67 minutes, but he was also red-carded for tripping Charlie Davis who also converted the ensuing penalty.

Two other substitutes combined to rescue a point for the Bluebirds as Olly Taylor was tripped two minutes from time and, after a delay whilst the ball was changed. Andy Sandell scored from the spot.

Chippenham should have been out of sight by the break as Harry Grant wasted a great chance on 10 minutes as Alex Ferguson's looping cross left him with only Alan Walker-Harris to beat from inside the area, but his shot was blocked by the Magpies stopper.

Four minutes later Alan Griffin knocked the ball back to James Guthrie but he shot wide. Four minutes after that Guthrie was again off target after he was played in by Chris Allen.

On 23 minutes a superb turn in the box by Ferguson saw him wrong-foot two defenders but his low shot was deflected behind.

It wasn't until after the half hour that a 40-yard shot out of desperation from Davis saw the home side create a chance.

Then on 34 minutes a bouncing ball allowed Jo Ayunga to attempt a lob that was easily held by Kent Kauppinen.

Before the break Guthrie's raking cross was firmly headed by Ferguson but went just over the bar, before the half closed with Guthrie firing over at one end and Ayunga volleying over at the other.

After the interval Smith wasted another good chance when Allen's threaded ball into the area saw him fire over the bar.

Dorchester then took the lead with their penalty and Mark Collier responded by bringing on Sandell and Taylor to join Griffin up front.

The move paid off as Taylor was fouled as he turned in the area and Sandell fired home the penalty.
