Premier Division

Thrapston Town  1    Irchester United  1

Friday, 09 March 2012

A point apiece wasn't a great result for either of these relegation threatened rivals who are now on eighteen winless games apiece.

Irchester handed debuts to seven new players for this vital encounter.

A 33rd minute own goal from Jamie Russell, who diverted a Ross Whitney shot past his own keeper, gave Irchester an interval advantage.

Ben Morgan levelled for Town with a well taken goal with a quarter of an hour remaining.

Thrapston: Chris Jones, Jim Le Masurier, Jamie Russell, Ben Ekins (Dan Grainger), Lee Gotch, Matt Harris, Michael Cirelli (Jordan Pendered), Charlie Fowler, Ben Morgan, Martin Mitchell, James Ollerenshaw (Dan Wells). 

Irchester: Harry Allington, Dave Maguire, Matt White, Peter Howard, Chris Gell, Glenn Turner, Callum Ridgway, Scott Marlow (Darryl Smith), Ben Allington (John Aldridge), Ross Whitney (Liam Craig-Boucher), Stuart Reid.
