FRUSTRATED Frome Town have now gone six games without a win in the Evo-Stik League Southern Premier Division after suffering late heartbreak at home to Corby Town yesterday.

After conceding a first half penalty then drawing level through Aaron Rodriguez, a late winner from Corby substitute Tommy Wright was a bitter pill to swallow for the Robins.

Keeper Darren Chitty was a more than a bit fortunate in the 6th minute as his mishit clearance came straight back to him off a Corby forward, but as the match settled, his opposite numebr Paul Walker was called on to make the first signicant save of the match as he dived low to his right to hold a Kris Miller free kick.

As the half progressed, Chitty was called on to make several routine saves but Frome went closest to breaking the deadlock in the 32nd minute as a powerful run from Ben Thomson took him past his marker to the dead ball line and his well-struck shot towards the near post brought another good low save from Walker.

But Corby took the lead a minute later as the ball was lost in midfield and a flowing move down the right wing ended with Chitty forced to dive at the feet of a Corby forward who went to ground easily.

And after a moment's hesitation, the referee decided that a penalty was the end result and Greg Mills shot low into the corner to give the visitors the lead.

Frome came hurtling out of the blocks at the start of the second half and after several attempts on goal, Chitty was called on to make a great save from Ben Milnes as he got his head to a right wing cross.

After another good Chitty save from Spencer Weir-Daley, Frome immdiately broke on the right with Ben Worlock and his fine cross-field ball to Rodriguez allowed the winger to dance past Walker and stroke the ball into the unguarded net from 18 yards.

Corby’s Paul Malone picked up a yellow in the 58th for a tackle on Ricky Hulbert that saw the Frome player replaced by Dylan Bonella and eight minutes later, Frome went close to taking the lead as Thomson rose to flick the ball on and Rodriguez pushed the ball to Lewis Haldane, who got his shot in only to watch in despair as the ball hit the outside of the post.

Haldane again profited from a Thomson flick-on a few minutes later but this time his left foot shot flew across the face of the goal.

Frome did get the ball into the net in the 81st as Haldane again seized onto a Thomson header but this time a linesman’s flag ruled the goal out.

And just after Rodriguez had been substituted in the 84th due to injury and as the game was re-started, Frome seemed to momentarily lose concentration, Corby flooded forward down the right and as a desperate tackle went in, substitute Wright finished clinically with a shot into the far corner.
