Boythorpe and Dronfield Miners met for the second time in five days with the blues determined to make ammends for the home defeat. Things didnt start well as Boythorpe only had 9 men take to the field for the first 8 mins due to Bonson and Wright being held up on the way to the game A long throw almost caught out Potter as he fumbled the ball but caught at the second attempt. Boythorpe went close on 15 mins as a free kick from half way by Paul Walton was just headed wide by Goodwin.
Boythorpe gained the lead they deserved after 23 mins, Widerman weaved his way into the hosts 18 yard box taking 4 defenders with him, they struggled to take the ball off him and eventually a rash challenge upended the gifted front man. LEE WRIGHT took control of the penalty by smashing it past the diving keeper. They nearly added to the lead 2 mins later, Bonsons cross was headed for a corner and the keeper then fumbled the corner before it was hoofed away, Dronfield picked up a yellow card as a midfielder said one thing too many to the referee.
Dronfield pulled the scores level, Bonson was slow coming out after tracking back and the striker won the ball, the luck was with him and the ball deflected off him past the unlucky Potter.
