Kingsteignton Athletic 1 Harbertonford 1

The game started well for both teams, kingsteignton had good possession but never troubled the fords keeper, Harbertonford struck, mid way through the first half a decent finish, the linesman had his flag up but the referee over ruled the decision Kingsteignton switched off expecting to get the decision. Harbertonford continued to press and played some good football at times, The second half started much as the first half ended Harbertonford could have scored 2 or 3 but for good goalkeeping from Russell Faulkner and poor shooting from numerous Harbertonford players, Kingsteignton equalised 10 minutes from time, Richie Edwards pass through to Graham Disbury who slotted under the keeper, Kingsteignton could have made it 2-1 but for some good goalkeeping 3 minutes from time. A decent result from two teams who have not hit top form yet in the league, a good far contested match.
