Thrilling stalemate to end season

3:36pm Tuesday 6th April 2010 in Football By Sports Desk

Abundant Life Church and Sporting Athletic rounded off their season by sharing the points and eight goals in a T&A League thriller.

Sporting went two goals ahead in the early stages before Naz Khan pulled one back for the hosts.

The visitors scored twice and looked comfortable but the hosts fought back before the interval with strikes by Dave Niblock and Khaled Elsayed to give them a 4-3 lead.

Both teams had chances to score in the early stages of the second half but it was Aaron Scott who found the back of the net for the hosts’ final goal of the season.

Both teams had penalty chances but Athletic missed theirs and, in the closing stages, Stuart Green saved the hosts’ spot-kick to round off Saturday football for Sporting Athletic.

The League Cup final will be played at Thackley FC on April 22.
