BEAMISNTER Reserves extended their lead at the Dorset Division Five with a thrilling 3-2 away win over title rivals Bournemouth Electric Development
The Rainbows started well with early chances falling to Owain Davis but it was John Kingston who put the visitors into the lead with his fourth goal in three games following an assist by Robin Jones.
Bournemouth enjoyed good spells and looked threatening but Ryan Gay was solid in defence providing vital interceptions and last ditch challenges. Sam Robinson also made a number of important stops as Beaminster went into the break 1-0 up.
Bournemouth started brightly in the second half and scored almost immediately before quickly adding a second to go 2-1 up.
Kingston refused to see his side beaten though and his tireless running caused a defensive error which was capitalised on with Jones firing home the equaliser.
Jones then provided a late winner with a wonder goal as his looping volley from distance found the net.
There was a frenzy of Bournemouth attacks towards the ned but Robinson was again on hand to keep the hosts out and secure his team a vital three points in the title race.
Beaminster lead the division by one point from Donhead United and are now four points clear of Electric - all three teams have played 10 games.
Beaminster's first team game against Portesham United in Division Two was called off because of the weather.
