Dons clinch dramatic promotion
5:22pm Sunday 4th May 2008
Two late goals took AFC Wimbledon into Blue Square South after a dramatic match at Staines Town yesterday.
It was tough on Staines who dominated most of the match and took a first-half header from Matt Flitter.
It wasn't until the 83rd minute that Dons grabbed an equaliser in controversial fashion.
Dons striker Jon Main appeared to barge into Staines keeper James Courtnage and, as the keeper fell, the ball ran free for Luis Cumbers to lash home.
Shellshocked Staines were on their knees and Dons took full advantage three minutes later when Mark DeBolla fired a superb 25-yard free kick into the bottom corner.
Reaction from both camps to follow on this website.
