Risborough’s goal came on 56 minutes through Jamie Shrimpton’s fine finish from close range after good work from Martin Griggs.

The game was end-to-end and despite the hosts having a player sent off late in the second half, they equalised with only six minutes left on the clock to take a deserved share of the points.
