Highlights: Merstham 2 Bedfont Sports 2

By Ian Townsend

The Moatsiders and Sports cancel each other out in a relegation battle


We had a big relegation battle as third bottom Merstham welcomed second bottom Bedfont Sports. The West Londoners started the day three points behind their hosts and six from safety, but they had a positive first half and were two up by the break, Nathan Hogan getting both of them. The Moatsiders halved the arrears from the spot nine minutes into the second half, Reece Deakin keeping his cool- and a red card for Sports Ryan Case will have boosted the hosts yet further. They quickly took advantage, Adam Allen with an equaliser, and had twenty minutes to find a winner- but that was a step too far, Sports second bottom, the Moatsiders three points better off and two points from safety.
