Division One

Eynesbury Rovers  1    Huntingdon Town  1

Saturday, 07 November 2009

This Huntingdonshire derby ended with honours even at Hall Road.

in the first half Joe Jordan clipped the top of the visiting crossbar direct from a corner, while Huntingdon keeper Dave Beeny conceded a penalty after 23 minutes, bringing down Jordan, but escaped with a yellow card and Darren Woodend's spot kick bounced to safety off the post.

After the break Lee Booker rescued Rovers with a timely clearance after Chris Brown rounded Ben Houseago.

Dwayne Rankin, one of nine former Eynesbury players in the visiting line up, gave Town the lead after 58 minutes with a shot which Houseago got a hand to but could not keep out.

Rovers salvaged a point with an equaliser from Ricky Taylor seven minutes from time, the substitute scoring from just outside the box after Beeny had parried from Ian Dawkes.

Late on Beeny received a second yellow card and the home side also finished a man down as Booker was dismissed for a foul.

Eynesbury: Ben Houseago, Mark Scotcher, Craig Smith, Lee Booker, Darren Woodend, Matt Plumb (Ian Dawkes), Neil Morris (Ricky Taylor), Barry Albone, Adam Boothby, Joe Jordan, Scott Kingsbury (Darren Fairbrass).
