Football - Murt debut goal, but Town lose
9:44pm Tuesday 19th August 2008
NEWCOMER Anthony Murt scored but Kendal Town lost 2-1 to Marine in their first home game of the new Unibond League season on Tuesday evening.
Marine veteran danger-man Peter Cummiskey poached the lead for the visitors after 26 minutes against the run of play when he knocked in a rebound from a header that had struck a post.
Trailing 1-0 at half time after failing to finish off some promising attacks, Kendal survived a penalty kick when centre-half Tony Hallam handled the ball from a corner-kick and David Newnes made a fine save.
Then shortly after coming off the bench, Murt equalised for Town, sliding in at the far post to convert a chance in the 58th minute to put them back on terms.
However, Marine made it 2-1 with a Liam Atherton header that looped over Newnes in the 69th minute and they closed down the game to take all three points.
