Newton Abbot Spurs threw away a 3-0 lead to end up losing to visitors Dobwalls 5-4 after extra-time in a nine-goal Throgmorton Cup thriller that had three players sent off.

Adam Dyson and James Despard-Clark found the net for the hosts in the first half, with Dyson extending Spurs' lead shortly after the break.

Joe Eke then scored for the visitors before each side had a man sent off. Spurs lost Kevin Dadd for a second yellow card, with Dobwalls' Blake dismissed for hand-ball.

Matt Glendinning made the score 3-2, before Harry Hook sent the game into extra-time with an equaliser in the final minute.

Three-minutes into the first half of extra-time, Hook put the visitors ahead with his second of the game. Spurs were then reduced to ten men when Matt Micklewright received his marching orders, also for picking-up a second yellow card.

Simon Skews made it 5-3 to Dobwalls ten minutes from time, before Dyson struck again just before the final whistle to complete his hat-trick.
