Dunstable Town 1

Cirencester Town 1

CIRENCESTER TOWN stretched their unbeaten run to four games when a stoppage-time penalty was converted by Kerry Morgan to earn a point at Dunstable Town in an eventful match that had three penalty kicks and two red cards.

The Centurions put their hosts under early pressure with Morgan particularly prominent via a string of crosses and a couple of long-range shots. Gethin Jones also volleyed a corner kick wide.

Nathan Olukanmi caused the visitors some problems with his pace but Cirencester survived and were on top when they were awarded a penalty kick for handball. Alan Griffin struck the kick firmly towards the bottom left corner where Jack Smith made a very good save to deny the striker.

On the half-hour Dunstable opened the scoring when the dangerous Olukanmi latched on to a through ball and chipped it over an advancing Glyn Garner and under the bar – a quality finish.

The defences held firm until the interval but shortly after the break Ciren's Dan Demkiv crashed a shot against the home crossbar.

As the game entered its final phase a long ball was collected by Kelvin Bossman who was adjudged to have been brought down by Aidan Bennett as he entered the Ciren area and hit a miscued shot.

Bennett was given a second rather harsh yellow card which resulted in the visitors being reduced to 10 men.

Danny Talbot stepped up to take the kick and drove it against the right post where it rebounded and was cleared.

With nothing to lose Cirencester pushed forward and in added-time they were awarded a second penalty kick after Griffin was pushed as he lined up a header. The culprit, Gedeon Okita, was shown a straight red card. Morgan drove the spot kick firmly down the centre to level in the dying seconds.

Next up for Cirencester on Saturday is the very important 'six-pointer' at home to fellow relgation candidates Hayes & Yeading.
