Thorncliffe Colts 1-1 Laughton Boys

Both teams were up for this game, Thorncliffe are top of the league, Laughton are in 4th with 3 games in hand. The Colts took the lead in the 1st half almost direct from a corner. The corner came in 'keeper Sam Atkins couldn't get a hand to it and the Thorncliffe player was on hand to kock it in. Later, Hodgson took a few touches, and hit a shot straight at the crossbar. But just before half-time Laughton were awarded a free kick just inside their own half, the kick was taken by Jordan Dodsworth, up towards Alex Hodgson who nodded it down to Tom Oxby to stab home from six yards out. Towards the end of the game, Hodgson played a good ball to substitute James Rogan in the box, who hit a shot on goal but the Colts 'keeper made a fine save. And thats how it stayed until the final whistle, a decent enough away point for Laughton on a muddy and bobbly, small pitch.
