The Yellows looked dead and buried after being three goals down after 56 minutes, but a red card for Charlie Wooding and a converted penalty from Carlo Garside set Parkway on the comeback route.

Tylor Love-Holmes scored his first goal back in Yellow to make it 3-2 in the 75th minute and James WattsBarciela completed the comeback in stoppage time with a great strike into the top left corner.

Speaking on the result, manager Chris McPhee said: “The old cliché in football of ‘it's a game of two halves is very apparent (for this game).

“Reflecting back on the first half, Dorchester took the game to us and really put the ball in behind us, forced us back, gambled on second balls and they had lots of energy and physicality.

“We really struggled with that part of the game, even when we had possession. Rather than play our normal game and play out from the back, we just playing the ball back into them and putting ourselves back under pressure, so it’s a little bit disappointing (in that sense).
