They grabbed a deserved equaliser from a set piece, with a towering header which gave Will no chance.  Foxton now had to work hard to weather the storm, which they did superbly, keeping Hemingford down to minimal chances, the best chance being on the stroke of half time which was saved well by Will in goal. 

HT 1-1

The second half was again a good affair, with both sides going at it still. 

Foxton largely had the upper throughout the half, looking the more dangerous side and winning most duels all over the park. We regained the lead on about 65 minutes, when Dave Anthony finished well after a good move down the right side. 

Hemingford were still playing well but didn’t look like scoring, although the long throw tactic was always going to be a concern. However, Stu and Els dominated the box. 

Foxton had a chance to extend their lead on 75 minutes, but Ed Watsons penalty was well saved by the visiting keeper. 

Foxton then saw out the game to pick up a full quota of points.
