Ledbury Town Res 1 Hinton 1

LEDBURY Town Reserves picked up a valuable point from their local derby encounter with county rivals Hinton in their bid to climb up the West Midlands League South Division table.

Man-of-the-match Ashley Jones was the dominant force in Hinton's midfield but half-time arrived in a goalless stalemate.

With 10 minutes left, Ledbury broke the deadlock through Neil Gardiner who rattled the net with a powerful, 25-yard drive. Within five minutes Hinton equalised, after a goalmouth scramble.
