A brace from Ben Hutchinson and another goal from Jordan Wilson saw Carlton Town secure another away win, this time 3-0 at Loughborough Dynamo, writes John Hartshorne.
Manager Wayne Scott made just one change from the side which won at Market Drayton last time out. New signing Jean Desrosiers came in for Darol Lucas.
Since the Drayton match Daniel Gordon and Kyle Stovell have left the Millers and Gordon was in the Dynamo side having been snapped up by them during the week.
Also playing for Loughborough were ex-Millers Paolo Piliero and Luke Smithson.
In the first half Carlton defended a strong wind and Loughborough applied pressure. Dynamo had two free kicks in dangerous positions. Louis Keenan’s strike was well saved by Jack Steggles and Luke Thorogood’s was fired well over the bar.
Gordon then attacked down the left and Jermaine Palmer just failed to connect for an open goal. They had another attack and headed against the bar which came down and Daniel Fletcher headed it of the line.
Then Carlton took control and in the 39th minute Keiran Walker took a long throw on the right and Ben Hutchinson directed a nice header off the left hand post to put the Millers ahead.
Just before half time a foul by Jordan Spearman on Jordan Wilson in the area brought a penalty with Hutchinson placing his shot to the right of James Martin.
The second half started well for Carlton and Loughborough were pushed back although neither goalkeeper had anything really to save.
The game became a bit nasty which involved a melee of players all around Jack Steggles. The referee booked a number of players from each side.
William Mellors- Blair came on for Hutchinson and was immediately sent clean through on goal but he fired wide.
Carlton were not to be denied and deservedly went three goals ahead on 78 minutes. Eddie Schoenecker played a great ball to Wilson who clipped into the top of the net.
