Daventry Town turned in arguably their best away performance so far when earning a 1-1 draw at BetVictor Southern League leaders Corby Town at Steel Park. Daventry’s overall performance was probably better even than the 4-0 October success at Didcot. A huge, muddy pitch at the Rockingham Triangle seemed to suit Daventry even though James Ireland twice spurned opportunities to put the Steelmen ahead early on. Daventry had earlier gone close when another tantalising corner from Creaney led to Corby full back Sam Warburton making a timely goal line clearance. A score-draw was a fair result in an evenly-balanced contest which provided Daventry with a fourth point from two matches and a return to the top half of the table in tenth place.
