Division One champions Fegg Hayes rested several players as they wrapped up their successful 2004/05 season with a 1-1 draw over Holt JCB. They needed a very late equaliser from Kane Brookes to cancel out an opening goal scored for the visitors midway through the second half by Mark Adams.

Fegg Hayes play at a open recreation ground on High Lane near Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. The pitch ran lengthways from the car park at the south end with portable dugouts positioned down the right-hand touchline closest to the road.

With photographer Malc Hampton also at the game, Holt JCB (in blue) got the game underway attacking the car park end in the first half. The best chance of the first half fell to Holt’s Tom Pope who burst through and saw his resulting shot blocked by the boot for Fegg Hayes goalkeeper Richard Harrison.

Following the goalless first half, Holt’s goalkeeper Andrew Cooper produced a decent save to turn round a header from Michael Ibinson.

The visitors took the lead in the 67th minute. Mark Adams picked up the ball inside the area on the left and sent a low shot into the far corner of the net via the post.

Fegg Hayes salvaged a point with a 90th minute equaliser, scrambled home at close range by Kane Brookes.
