back in their own half. This led to Ben Purdy running at goal
to beat the keeper with a clean shot. There then followed

goal and making a 50/50 challenge with the Athletic keeper.
The keeper subsequently needed hospital treatment.
With the replacement keeper's first kick resulting in a free
kick to Thrapston, Kyle Wood took it and placed it in the
back of the net for his first of the season. A very tough
