RESULT

Paul Williams pulled one back as Press produced another spirited display, fighting hard after going two down and unlucky not to take something from the game. Lots of positives to build on.

@danprocter5 We were led to believe that the last goal was disallowed for offside, but as there was neither time for a kick-off nor a free-kick, it wasn’t entirely clear! As you say, a good game either way. Best of luck for the season, and see you next pre-season. 👍👍👍
