Iscape battled valiantly to secure the first point of their promotion push against a team relegated from the top division last season. It was a merited draw following a 0 - 0 stalemate in which we were pushed back for large periods early on but defended stoutly with Hen making some excellent saves ably supported by Dougie, Matt and Dom at the back.
Kev, having warmed up in an earlier game playing in the rear for another team in division one, ran himself into the ground whilst Matt pushed himself for the full period as he made forward runs whilst providing cover in front of the defence.
Dave and myself played up front and gradually found a bit of time and space as they tired leaving us looking far more likely to score toward the end. We came close on several occasions and it definitely helped making the ref's decisions for him as he didn't have a clue. Appeal fast and appeal loud seems to be the way forward.
All to play for now as we endure a three week break before the next game having just got ourselves to the peak of match fitness!

Not the first time our gallant gaffer has been caught "playing in the rear".
i first read it as 'ploughing in the rear'
Hmm, not a great thought either way!!
Say what you like but at least Kev's always been able to hold his own at the rear
