A MAKESHIFT Supermarine side suffered their first defeat since Mark Collier left the managerial hotseat as they went down 5-1 to Brackley in the Southern Premier last night.

Marine’s Mitchell Bryant fired wide on three minutes following good work by Jack Hopper, in what was a largely uneventful opening.

An almost 10-minute delay ensued when the visitors’ Owen Storey was stretchered off midway through the half with a leg injury.

But Brackley took the lead on the half-hour mark when Marine failed to clear a corner and Tom Kemp's deflected shot nestled in the left corner of the net.

The game sparked further into life in first-half injury time, when Luke Hopper’s shot was repelled by goalkeeper Darren Acton and Bryant was on hand to slam low into the net.

But the teams were level for just a matter of minutes as Brackley controversially regained their advantage. Referee Adam Nunn awarded a disputed spot kick for handball and although stopper James Rae guessed the right way, he could not keep Tom Winters’ penalty out.

After the break Brackley held the upper hand and Winters directed over the bar when well-placed on the edge of the area.

The visitors increased their lead when Carl Palmer nodded home at the back post, and Jon Beeden prevented another when he cleared Elliot Sandy’s shot off the line.

But inside the final minutes the visitors finished the job when Francis Green, later to be sent off for a head-butt on Beeden, converted his opportunity.

And Palmer beat Rae with a couple of minutes left to complete an emphatic victory.

Meanwhile, Shrivenham were thumped 4-1 at home by Headington Amateurs in the Supplementary Cup second round.
