Tuesday, 08 November 2005



Harrowby ended a run of thirteen successive defeats with a battling draw against Holbeach at Harrowby Fields. The home side looked to be heading for another defeat when Tigers player boss Shaun Keeble opened the scoring after eight minutes, slotting home after he challenged keeper Chris Bennett for a Danny Cairns cross. Keeble followed up with a second a minute later, chipping home from the edge of the box from a Tom Fielding pass. Paul O'Rourke replied for the Arrows after 41 minutes with a great strike from 25 yards and debutant Danny Hargreaves levelled with twelve minutes remaining, beating two men before firing in a shot that deflected off Tigers defender Simon Markham. Former Arrows boss Graham Drury squandered an opportunity to win it for the home side in the closing stages.
