The fearsome fourths continued their unbeaten run into 2017 with an honourable draw at Shefford and Sandy. Shahbaz Ali grabbed the lead before half time and was unlucky not to get three or four more.

Shefford came back after the break but man-of-all-trades-and-master-of-most, Joe Whittaker, guesting as goalkeeper, kept them out with a series of terrific saves, including saving one penalty flick, until S&S eventually grabbed the equaliser.

A good game to get rid of the rust and the effects of Christmas jollities.
