Sun miss penalty - lose

Those all important factors, time and luck, were against Sun on Saturday...and Sun,. like their opponents, can do with the points.
Pirton got off the mark with two somewhat lucky goals, but before half time, three very good goals put Sun right back into the picture.
The first of these came in the 31st minute through W Lamport, and then, two minutes later, P Boyle levelled matters.
Ten minutes after this Boyle scored the third.
In the second half, Sun did far more attacking but reward was denied them.
Instead, Pirton's equalised and then regained the lead.
Sun had a good chance to draw level again when Boyle was brought down inside the penalty area with only the goalkeeper to beat.
He took the spot kick himself, but stabbed the ground and the ball went straight to the visitors' goalkeeper.
When Pirton were awarded a penalty for hands, they made no mistake.
Sun came back in the last ten minutes and Boyle completed his hat-trick.
The equaliser, however, eluded the home side, the nearest they came to it being when a shot hit the upright.
