Linby beat Mansfield HM 2-1 thanks to a Zach Hamilton double.
It wasn’t pretty, but Linby ground out another important win. We’ve certainly played better, this season but a win’s a win against a very dangerous Mills outfit.
It was the worst possible start for Linby when seven minutes in Billy Brooks wriggled free and finished well to put the visitors 1-0 up.
Corey Wood saw a shot saved then Josh Wass had an header drift wide as Linby looked to get back into the game.
On 22 minutes Jack Walker made a decent save to deny Dickinson .
25 mins in Mason Moores corner found Ethan Fells and his header hit the underside of the bar.
Linby were level on 42 mins, when Ewan Gibson’s cross found Zach Hamilton , who buried his header into the bottom corner.
Liam Cartledge saw a shot saved early in the second half and Brooks missed a golden chance to put the visitors back in front. He rounded Walker but shot wide.
On 80 mins Wass saw his header saved by Mills keeper Joe Parker.
Linby found the winning goal on 81 mins following some good work from Moore who released Ashdon Bernard and he crossed for Hamilton to score from 6 yards out for his second goal of the match.
