British Gas Business League Division One South & West
Saturday 26th April at Northcourt Road

Gosport finished their first season back in the Southern a creditable 11th with a 2-2 draw in Oxfordshire this afternoon.

It was a slow start for both sides and it took until the 24th minute for the game to wake up when the awareness of James Ford spotted Farrow off his line and the midfielder exquisitely lobbed the 'keeper from 25 yards to give Boro' the lead.

Boro' should have doubled their lead just after the break when both Justin Bennett and Nathan Lynch both missed sitters - Bennett hitting the outside of the post with the goal at his mercy and Lynch hitting the rebound over from ten yards with the 'keeper nowhere.

It was to prove costly as United levelled eight minutes later when John Mills side-footed past Mark Brown after he met Luke Holden's cross perfectly.

Abingdon now took control of the game and were further assisted by another Lynch miss - the young striker shooting straight at the 'keeper when clean though.

With 22 minutes remaining the home side took the lead and it was Mills and Holden combining again with the latter beating Brown with a diagonal shot.

Alex Pike rang the changes with John Wilson entering the fray for Lee Chudy and he made an immediate impact as Gosport chased the game.

Gosport's performance was improving and a quality delivery from Gilham was met by Lynch who found the net with his looping header to level the scores.

Boro' controlled the final ten minutes and Farrow was twice forced to deny Gosport the winner as both Bennett and Wilson went close.

  • Justin Bennett finished the division's highest scorer with 30 league and league cup goals - five ahead of his nearest challenger.
