The Bashley site carries this very evenhanded report today...
Bashley suffered a late setback as hosts Oxford City continued their recent revival by snatching a stoppage time point. Bash made one change with Dominic Allen replacing the injured Joe Collins, and they had the better of the opening stages. Tom Hill released Dominic Allen on the left and his cross was glanced narrowly over by Mike Spinney. An excellent free kick from Ryan Hill midway through the half was met sweetly by Dave Allen on the volley but on loan keeper Jakub Jesionkowski made a fine save to parry the ball for a corner. Ryan Hill whipped in the flag kick and Chris Knowles headed goalwards only to see the ball deflected wide. The second successive corner was touched on by Knowles and stabbed into the side netting by Luke Whitley from beyond the far post.
Bash also had to be solid defensively and did so very well with a number of important blocks and challenges, while Whitley almost made an impact at the other end but was unable to turn the ball home in a scramble from three yards out. Eleven minutes before the interval Bash took the lead when a cross was only half cleared to TOM HILL who unleashed a sensational strike from thirty yards that powered into the top corner to leave Jesionkowski with no chance. Whitley made an excellent block almost immediately after the goal, while David Elm made a fine save five minutes into the second half to deny Lee Steele.
The home side created more chances in the second half but Bash were reasonably comfortable and Dominic Allen shot over with their best early opening. An excellent run from Spinney ended with him cutting into the box and his effort was deflected for Jesionkowski to make a smart stop at his near post. City stepped up the pressure in the last fifteen minutes and forced Bashley back deep into their own half, but the visitors were a threat on the break and clever play from Ian Oliver led to the ball reaching Dominic Allen but his low drive was well held by Jesionkowski.
City launched a barrage of long throws and long balls pumped forward as the game ticked into stoppage time, but just when it seemed that they had done enough to take all three points, a long ball over the Bash defence released LEE STEELE and he kept his composure to drill his shot past Elm and earn his side a share of the spoils.
Oxford City: Jakub Jesionkowski, James Clarke, Andy Ballard, Dave Savage (Jack Ashton 60), Craig McIlwain, Wayne Blossom, Mark Janes (Filipe Barcelos 70), Liam Malone (capt), Mark Pritchard, Lee Steele, Ashley Kington. Unused subs: James Faulkner, Joe White.
Bashley: David Elm, Ryan Hill, Ian Oliver, Gary Middleton, Luke Whitley, Chris Knowles (capt), Tom Hill, Dave Allen, Mike Spinney, Jack Smith, Dave Allen. Unused subs: Chris Ferrett, Joe Prodomo, Jason Brookes, Ryan Murray, Steve Riley.
