But at least it stopped the team’s six match losing sequence in League and Cup competition, which stretched back to September 4th when they last gained a point in the draw against Warlingham in the League. Manager Bob Pritchard missed this match through illness, but whilst the he was looking for a speedy recovery, it was also his team that needed to recover from their recent match sequence of League and Cup losses. Although that looked unlikely from the first half showing, it did become more evident in the second period which gave them a tonic, from which after drawing level for the second time, they almost snatched a late winner. Sheerwater had the better of the first half having taken the lead after eleven minutes through Steve Talbot, who with his pace, gave new signing Jack Leighton a testing time on his debut at full back, which led to the Knaphill newcomer being substituted at halftime. The defender was one of four new signings for the Club and brought into the squad for this match. The visitors showed more of a cutting edge in the first half, with bother sides snatching at chances, more notable for Knaphill was Jack Ball’s one on one with Archibald the Sheers keeper, the latter coming off best. Knaphill became rather vunerable to quick counter attacks from Sheerwater, but the defence survived to keep the score down to a single goal, whilst finding it rather difficult to find enough fire power in their own efforts from the front men. In the second half however, Sheerwater were more limited to goalscoring chances as the half progressed, with Knaphill excerting more pressure on the visitors. In the 58th minute, Knaphill scored the best goal of the game when their equaliser, delivered with perfection from 25 yards by Matthew Brunt left the keeper rooted to the spot as it flew into goal to make it 1-1. Sheerwater regained the lead in the 74th minute with Talbot netting his second goal which was well placed past Louis Dixon and into the far corner. Knaphill lost Tony Hadley with a shoulder injury within a few minutes after coming on as substitute, leaving the home side playing the last 18 minutes with ten men. Knaphill battled back and struck their second equaliser in the 80th minute with a header from substitute James Norman, who also went close to snatching a winner five minutes later, but Archibald was alert to what seemed a goal bound effort, as he turned the shot round the post for a corner. The keeper was in action soon after when he punched clear Chris Fox’s effort. In the end, a welcome point for Knaphill, but that road to recovery of form, requires another prescription or two to get back to some improved healthier form and winning ways.
