FOOTBALL: Battling Banbury hold on for a draw
11:43pm Tuesday 19th August 2008
Banbury United had to settle for a point in last night's rain-soaked Premier Division encounter at Halesowen FC.
After an even opening, Banbury took the lead when Nicky Gordon fired home from the penalty spot for his second of the season on 35 minutes.
On 60 minutes, the visitors should have doubled their lead, but Scott Bridges failed to hit the target.
Ten minutes later, Stourbridge levelled via a Stephan Morley own goal on 70 minutes.
Stourbridge looked likely to add to their tally, but Banbury held on for a point.
Banbury Utd: Morrell, Abassi (Howkins 43), Morley (Kinch 80), Essex, Milner, Pearman, Travers, Breward, Bridges, Gordon (Bryan 65), Stanbridge. Subs not used: Peppiatt, Drummond.
