Lions 1 v 1 Granby

Lion's starting eleven: Hansen, Fildes, Lewis, Hill, French, Turkentine (C), Dye, D. Jefferies, Jordan, A.Jefferies, Potton

Despite a promising start from Breachwood, Granby got a long clearence on the counter attack and scored with looping long range shot from outside the box.

Starting om the right just inside the Granby half, a Danny Jefferies and Iaian Turkentine move found the ball at the feet of Dan Dye 19 yards from goal and a sweeping left foot shot saw the ball on the bottom left hand corner fo the Granby goal for 1-1 at Half time.

In the second half, Rob Pearson replaced Pete Jordan and John Griffin replaced Dan Dye in midfield

There was plenty of end to end stuff without a clinical result.

With ten minutes remaining Andy Fildes brought down a Granby forward in the box. A well taken penalty was saved by new Lion's keeper Brendan Hansen.

Final score 1-1 draw

Ricky Hill was man of the match with a solid committed perfomance in central defence.

Subs not used: Harrison, Jenkins, Eldridge, D.Farr
