Scholars end with a draw and secure 7th place

Paul Mullins24 Apr 2016 - 14:45

After Chasetown’s midweek defeat there was nothing to play for in this final league game for the Scholars.

Lincoln midfielder Gary King tested Curtis Pond in the opening 15 minutes with a long range effort which was easily gathered.

In the 37th minute a Simon Brown corner was headed goalwards by Henry Eze and King headed off the line.

A typical end of season game saw goal chances limited and a deflected Marco Adaggio effort was parried by Ryan Musselwhite.

The hosts had one eye on the play offs which gave Chasetown more time on the ball and Stan Mugisha shot from twenty yards which struck a defender and resulted in a corner kick.

Lincoln pushed forward late on and ten minutes from time Matt Cotton capitalised on a Chris Slater error but was denied by a low Pond save.

In the final minute, Rob Norris almost pinched the points for the hosts but for a brilliant save from Pond at his near post.

Eze almost won the visitors the game in stoppage time with a mazy run before teeing up George Washbourne who struck the crossbar with Musslewhite beaten.
