Tiverton Town 1 Swindon Supermarine 1

 From the non league paper:

Tiverton Town and Swindon Supermarine had to settle for a share of the spoils after a hard fought encounter.

The first half saw a flowing game of football with chances for both sides.

On eight minutes, Marine's Chris Zebroski, the ex-Plymouth Argyle striker, skipped past two players and sent in a delicious cross that Alfie Pond cleared to avert the danger.

Ten minutes later Tiverton's Andy Watkins hooked a lovely ball just over Martin Horsell's crossbar.

Swindon stepped up the pressure with Zackaria Kowitca hitting a shot destined for the corner only for the acrobatic home keeper Lewis Williams to tip over the bar.

Tivvy came back strong a few minutes later with Olaf Koszela just dragging a shot into the side netting.

The second half saw a burst of activity from the home side and Tivvy took the lead on 54 minutes.

A great header from Watkins was saved by Horsell but the ball found Koszela at the back post to fire home to the applause of the home ground.

The lead was shortlived.

A minute later, a deep cross was headed in by Harry Williams, who lost his marker to power home and restore parity.

Both sides had half-chances to win it but, in the end, a draw was a fair result.
