Millwey Rise travelled to Bampton with four senior players unavailable and the bare 11 but still came home with an excellent point.

Millwey rode their luck at times, especially in the first half but, aided by some superlative saves from keeper Nathan Hoole, went into the break on level terms.

In the second period 'Rise' got a better grip on the game and created chances of their own with both Sam Turner and Luke Thurlow going close. Possibly their best chance of winning would have come from a dead cert penalty when Owen Enticott was upended in the box but the referee thought otherwise.

Bailey Hall, who stepped up to fill the centre back role, was impressive, as were the efforts of Zak Meaker and Sam Turner in midfield but the MOM went to Nathan Hoole, who was a giant between the posts. Manager Mark Turner said: “The boys were absolutely fantastic, I couldn't have been more proud of them.”
