Division One
Whitworths 1 Buckingham Town 1
Saturday, 22 November 2008
These two well placed sides shared the spoils at London Road.
Ben Hill gave the Robins a well deserved lead seven minutes before the interval, winning possession in midfield and riding two tackles before netting with a 25 yard strike.
Whitworths upped their game after the break with substitute James Daldy thwarted by a goalline clearance.
The Robins looked set to hang on to clinch a vital victory but an 80th minute Paul Smith reply following Luke Raftery's right wing run and cross kept the Flourmen unbeaten under new boss Steve Orchard.
