Hamworthy United Reserves took all three points home after beating Bridport Reserves 3-1 at St Mary's Field.

Two first half goals put the Hammers in charge before Harry Boulton pulled one back for Murray Legg's side.

However, the Poole-based side would wrap things up with a third goal after Brad Rowe was sent off for a second bookable offence for the home side.  

The game started at a frantic pace, with Hamworthy presented a half chance from the kick off that went wide.

A heavy touch from Rowe allowed the opposition keeper to thwart a one on one chance before he burst down the left flank, but his cross was narrowly missed by the oncoming Bees' forwards.

Hamworthy took the lead after a defensive error which allowed their winger to slot the ball across for an attacker to tap in.

The visitors then doubled their lead after a volley was sent crashing into the back of the net.

Bridport saw a raft of chances come and go as they tried to get back into the game with Josh Baker coming closest with a long range effort hitting the angle of post and bar. 

The Bees pressed to get back in the game in the second half and were eventually rewarded for their efforts when Arnold crossed for Boulton to head home.

Shortly after, Baker had a header from six yards blocked on the line and an Ash Smith's goal bound volley was blocked.

Rowe was dismissed for his second yellow with fifteen to go and Hamworthy were clinical when miscommunication on the left flank was punished to seal the three points.
