BEAMINSTER FC's poor start to the season goes on with a seven straight defeat this time a 3-1 away loss at Poundbury.

The home side opened the scoring after 20 minutes after a Poundbury striker latched onto a defence splitting ball to finish past the on rushing Johnathan Gudge in the Beaminster goal.

Poundbury's goalkeeper was in excellent form and constantly denied the Rainbows any chance of an equaliser in the first half with chances falling to Ollie Wetherall, Fin Dolan, Callum Middleton and Jacob Parsons.

After the break both sides carved out chances to score but it was Poundbury who again found their mark and doubled their lead.

Substitutes Owain Davis, Henry Hansford-Harvey and Ali Kamara came off the bench and made an instant impact.

A Hansford-Harvey cross found Callum Middleton at the back post to half the deficit.

However, as Beaminster pushed for an equaliser it left space at the back and Poundbury took advantage with a minute to go and sealed the win, making it 3-1.
