Football: Unwelcome ton for Abingdon

From the archive, first published Friday 4th May 2001.

Abingdon Town's final home game of the season in Ryman Division 3 saw them reach an unwelcome milestone with their goals against tally topping the 100-mark.

And it happened in unfortunate circumstances when Antony Burden's attempted headed clearance flew past keeper Jonathan Beames for an own goal in the 48th minute.

But Dean Dixon raced through to equalise in the 56th minute and Jason Thomas fired Abingdon ahead seven minutes later. However, Hertford levelled with a cracking drive in the 83rd minute.

Abingdon Tn: Beames, Thomas, Budren, Gill, Price, Parkhurst, Beauchamp, Charles (Brown), Douglas, Gardner, Dixon. Subs not used: Oram, Holman.

*Abingdon end their season at Clapton tomorrow.
