Burnham 1 - OCFC 1

City's first away trip of the season took them on a short journey to the smart home of Burnham known as 'The Gore'.

New signing Greg Williams showed good work down the right hand side as City applied some early pressure. It was Williams who had the first real chance of the game when a long range piledriver crashed against the crossbar.

Strikers Anthony Alleyne and Danny Keen continued the half trying to pierce the Burnham backline, but City's goal was to come from defender Andy Marriott.

A well delievered corner was met by the head of Marriott who powered the ball past the Burnham keeper.

Danny Keen had a good chance to double the lead before half time only to lose his footing.

As the second half began Burnham applied more pressure to City, City also had their share of the ball, especially Lee Rendell who worked tirelessly down the left hand side all evening

Burnham levelled the game at 1-1 on the hour.

Manager Andy Lyne replaced Danny Keen with giant striker Alex Stewart.

With the scores level the game was anybodys, Both Alleyne and Stewart tried and tried but the tight Burnham back line didn't back down, Lyner made further subs when Debutant Greg Williams was replaced by Luke Brandon and Harry Burnley joined the attack replacing Alleyne.

City would eventually leave 'The Gore' with a hard earned point.
