County U18 Friendly Match
Northants U18s 2 Huntingdonshire U18s 2
A PAIR of late goals saw Huntingdonshire's U18 footballers battle back to secure a draw.
The visitors started brightly but soon found themselves under pressure against a strong host side, who took the lead after 27 minutes.
Hunts were made to pay for slack defending at a corner and Josh Davies rose highest to convert a Jon Mitchell corner at the near post.
It was Mitchell who was again the provider on the stroke of half-time as he set up Joe Power for the home side's second.

Despite being two goals down at the break, the visitors came out fighting and began to claw their way back into the game.
Tom Mills powered a header just over the bar from a corner before John Hall burst clear of the defence and shot narrowly wide.
Northants created one clear-cut chance after the interval when Josh Davies saw his effort come back off an upright.
Meanwhile, home goalkeeper Ashley Robinson was being kept busy and Hunts eventually pulled back a goal through a Jamie Osborne free-kick after 74 minutes
Ten minutes, later the scores were level when defender James Curran headed in a Ben Colmer corner to earn the visitors a draw they thoroughly deserved for their battling performance.
