Justin Donawa Scores In Darlington FC Win
Bermuda’s Justin Donawa scored for his Darlington FC team as they played to a 2-1 win over Gainsborough.
The club’s match report said, “Gainsborough had the first chance, when Billy Chadwick turned quickly inside the box and struck a low left foot shot that Elliott saved easily.
“Quakers went up the other end and nearly scored. Stephen Thompson crossed to the far post where Adam Campbell brought the ball down, sidestepped a defender, and curled a right foot shot that Allinson saved.
“And Quakers nearly scored on 11 minutes when Campbell nodded a right wing cross down for Jarrett Rivers to have a shot deflected wide.
“Thompson then got round the back of the defence and tried to set up Lambert, but a defender just managed to intercept.

“Quakers took the lead on 16 minutes, when Thompson flicked on a through ball by Hatfield for Jack Lambert to run through and place the ball into the bottom corner.
“But Trinity levelled on 33 minutes, when a low shot by Curtis Morrison was parried by Elliott, and Kingsley James knocked in the loose ball.
“At the start of the second half, Hedley put a right foot shot wide after being set up by Campbell, but at the other end, Elliott had to save at the foot of his post from Morrison.
“Thompson had a shot charged down from a free kick, before Quakers went back in front on 69 minutes.
“A long clearance by Elliott was helped on by Thompson for sub Justin Donawa to pick up, run through and beat Allison with a low shot for his fourth goal of the season.
“Campbell nearly got another when he burst through on the end of a Thompson pass, but his shot struck the underside of the bar.
“Donawa popped up in a central position and struck a low shot that Allison saved.
“But Quakers had a late let off when Thornton chested a free kick down in the box, and with the goal at his mercy, pulled the ball wide.”
