LINNETS boss Ian Robinson had no complaints after their recent good run came to an end at Fawcett's Field.

The New Milton-based side had won four of their previous five, but they were sunk this time by Barry Elmore's brilliant 43rd-minute free-kick.

Robinson, whose side missed several openings, particularly early on, said: "It was a catalogue of missed chances.

"We paid for that because the goal was totally against the run of play.

"They had a player (Sean Cook) sent off (for retaliation) when it was 0-0, dropped all 10 men behind the ball and played in their own half.

"In the sense that we couldn't break them down, we didn't deserve anything from it."
