Premier Division
Desborough Town 3 Potton United 3
Saturday, 24 September 2005
A late Potton fightback earned the Royals only their third point in their last ten visits to the Waterworks Field. Potton took a 13th minute lead through Paul Garrett, who punished a poor clearance, only for Greig McIlwain to equalise ten minutes later after catching the visiting defence square. On the hour McIlwain's sixth goal of the season, a lob over stranded keeper Brad Gillham, gave Desborough the lead and they looked set for a second win of the season when Matty O'Neill gave them a two goal cushion after 69 minutes, injuring himself in the process. Glen Crook gave Potton hope after 81 minutes with a goal following a corner and two minutes later Wes Byrne popped up with the point saving equaliser. Substitute John Coley almost won it for the Royals right at the death.
