Honours even on the pitch but Cancer Research wins the day.
Two late, late goals saw Thatcham come from behind to level the scores at Waterside Park in this pre-season...
....friendly which raised a sizeable sum for cancer research.
The home side opened the scoring when Paul Strudley fumbled a Craig Angell free-kick into his own net, but James Pilling scored a spectacular equalizer with a shot into the roof of the net before the interval.
We had the better of the play after half-time, Mark Draycott giving us the lead from the penalty spot and Harry Goodger made it 3-1 when he seized on a rebound off the bar to drive the ball home.
With time almost up, Liam Painter made it 3-2 and Charlie Allsop levelled the scores in injury time.
It had been a good run-out for both clubs on a very warm afternoon , but the winner was the good cause which was generously supported by a good crowd. aiming to raise £1000.
