Hondermarck might have been off had this been a competitive game. Already on a yellow and has just gone in late. Referee has a long chat with him.

87’ GOAL! 2-1 Cobblers (Abimbola)

Cracking goal that. Brough down the left, finds Fox in the middle, he swivels and spreads a pass out to Abimbola who makes space to shoot and finds the top corner. Excellent finish.

Solid way for the Cobblers to sign off pre-season. Started and finished well. Abimbola, Fox and Pinnock with the goals. But now it’s all eyes on next weekend and the League One opener against Stevenage.
