St Ives Town 1, Desborough Town 1
St Ives sneaked a last-ditch equaliser against league-strugglers Desborough to draw the game 1-1 and put an end to their run of defeats.
Neither team managed to get the upper-hand in the first half, and they went into the interval with all still to play for in the second.
It was Desborough who took the lead with a goal from Tom Mills after 76 minutes.
St Ives didn't give up, and their perseverance paid off when Liam Kennett scored seconds before time to give the home team a valuable point.
