Spartak 2, Ashbourne 2
Spartak held on for a gritty point against a confident Ashbourne side, who had most of the play and possession.
The Sky Blues took an early lead when Ian Corcoran fired to the top corner from 20 yards for a cracking goal.
Ashbourne took over for a period and snatched an equaliser before the break. The Spartak forward players showed a lack of ability to hold the ball up to take pressure from the defence and Ashbourne benefited.
Once again that man Corcoran was on hand to give Spartak the lead early in the second half, but pressure told and Ashbourne headed in from a cross. The visting number 5 showed impressive dribbling skills but was well contained by an in form Darren Hughes.
A hard earned point.
