DENTON LEVELLER GIVES MOLES A POINT

Binfield 1 Marlow 1

BINFELD secured a late point thanks to an equaliser from Jonny Denton at home to Marlow.

The visitors looked to edge themselves in front with a few early sniffs at goal.

The first of which was well cleared from Denton before Liam Gavin mopped up effectivel­y to make an excellent clearance to deny Marlow breaking on the counter.

Both teams picked up an early booking as Moles captain Sean Moore went into the referee’s notebook.

Binfield looked to open up Marlow’s back line when Brandon Curtis threaded through a ball to James Beauchamp but it was well blocked.

The deadlock was broken by the away team in the

38th minute through Khalid Simmo.

The Moles came close to a leveller before the break but Moore could only direct the ball over the bar from Beauchamp’s cross.

Moore came even closer just minutes after the restart when Marlow keeper Grant made a stunning stop to keep out Moore’s powerful effort.

Binfield then struck the post from Curtis who was set up by George.

A crucial intercepti­on from Joe Gater prevented Simmo from getting through on goal for Marlow as he tried to add to his tally.

Binfield goalkeeper Chris Grace came to the rescue for his side when he dived down low to the bottom corner to keep out a shot.

With just under 10 minutes to play, Binfield were finally rewarded when Denton met Ollie Harris’ corner and headed in.

The point keeps Binfield in eighth place on 50 points from 34 games.
