In the United Counties League, Wisbech Town had to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against Peterborough Northern Star in a wind-affected game at the Elgoods Fenland Stadium. The match was only two minutes old when the visitors opened the scoring. But with the elements in their favour, the second half was virtual one-way traffic and the equaliser arrived with nine minutes remaining. Billy Smith put a deep cross into the box which evaded everyone and found the corner of the net. Michael Frew thought he'd secured the points for Wisbech in the 85th minute, but he was offside.
