MATCH CENTRE | ST NEOTS TOWN VS CORBY TOWN
St Neots Town vs Corby Town | Tuesday 28th January| BetVictor Southern Football League Division One Central

Corby Town Battled hard against a well drilled Halesowen side last time out. There was a great but nervy atmosphere in the game- the occasion brought 793 Corby and Halesowen fans through the turnstiles at Steel Park.

Both teams had good chances during the game, and it was Halesowen who struck first after a surging run from Jordan Piggott and some good link-up play with team-mate Cobourne, Piggott finished in the bottom corner to give the visitors the lead. It was just 4 minutes after the opening goal when Corby pulled level when a Jake Duffy Header was knocked on by Clifton and finished by Sandy.

Both sides fought till the final whistle, but they ended the game on level terms after some good goal keeping from Worby and defensive excellence from Evans after a superb goal line clearance for the Yeltz.
