‘We probably didn’t deserve to win because of the amount of mistakes we made,’ said Services manager Bob Brady.

‘Our biggest problem is the failure to turn all our chances into goals.’

Goals from Callum Dart and Tyler Moret earned Baffins Milton Rovers a 2-1 win over Ringwood Town at the Kendalls Stadium.
