Cobblers weekend round-up: Bunney bags another assist as Town’s ladies rack up big win at the PTS

Another assist for on-loan Cobblers defender Joe Bunney was not enough to prevent Rochdale from sliding closer to the Sky Bet League One trapdoor on Saturday.

Bunney’s low cross on 27 minutes saw Ian Hendersen give Dale a shock lead against high-flying Sunderland, but the Black Cats levelled through Charlie Wyke before George Honeyman scored an 89th minute winner to keep Rochdale in the relegation zone.

Billy Waters also played the full 90 minutes as Cheltenham Town were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Exeter City. Conor Thomas cancelled out Dean Moxey’s first-half strike before Exeter goalkeeper Christy Pym was sent off for a push on Waters.
