Chichester score 3 in 8 minutes

Ollie Baxter puts Plymouth under pressure from a short corner.

​Chichester struck three times in eight second half minutes to set up a 3-2 victory over visiting Plymouth Marjon – their first win in four National League West Conference starts.
Chichester fell behind three minutes after the half-time break, but turned the match on its head with a trio of goals in that decisive spell in the third quarter before Plymouth cut the deficit seven minutes from the end to create a nervy finish, writes Mike Vimpany.
The hosts played far better as a side than they had done in their three previous defeats and would have changed around 1-0 up had Cameron Ryall not wasted a great chance after Alex Baxter’s shot from a penalty corner not been superbly saved by Phil Carr’s outstretched stick.
Chris Bristow made two fine saves of his own before a mistake by Josh Brown created the opening for Jon Tew to fire Plymouth ahead.
But the Devon visitors cracked under pressure as Chichester forced several short corners, Alex Holton equalizing and then skipper Matt Sewell giving his side a 46th minute lead, the first time this season they had been in front.
As the tempo increased, so Bristow beat out a Plymouth short corner and Alex Thakore was sin binned – but it didn’t stop ten-man Chichester from extending their lead from a fierce low Oli Baxter cross-shot.
Between them, Adam Bloomfield and Joe Bugden bungled a great chance to have settled it with a fourth for Chichester, who needed Bristow to make two more short corner blocks before a slip by Thakore let in Tom Hodgkins to trim the final scoreline to 3-2 with Plymouth’s second seven minutes from time.
