HUNTINGDON Town came from behind to deliver an opening-day win for the new management team of Al Lenihan and Pat O'Keefe.
The win didn't come without cost as defender Chris Lenton was given his marching orders late in the game but Town stood firm to take home the points.
O'Keefe was especially pleased with the way his team had stuck to their task after falling two goals behind.

Kempston's Walnut Boys made the brighter start, taking a second-minute lead through Kofi Schulz. Strike partner Aaron Baldwin doubled the advantage twelve minutes before the break after getting the better of keeper Dave Beeny in a one-on-one.
