Went with Dad after spending the morning at Brent reservoir. Left the cafe at the garden centre at about 13:40 and walked to the ground arriving at about 14:20. The game itself was an entertaining affair and competitive from the start. Hilltop managed to take the lead after about 30 mins and went in at HT 1-0 up. The second half was similar to the first and full of a number of chances. The home side managed to double their lead after about 15 mins of the second half. They then had a number of chances to kill off the tie but didn''t have the final cross or quality to take advantage of them. Deal pushed to get back into it and eventually were awarded a penalty in the 90th minute having had a player sent off for some reason. They managed to snatch a replay in the last minute of added time and draw the game 2-2. Got the bus back to Hendon Central station before getting the tube to Tooting Broadway. Got home at about 18:20.
