AClapton side that had gathered just five league points all season left Plough Lane with a draw after frustrating the Dons. Having beaten the ‘Ton’ 4-1 and 5-1 before Christmas, the crowd were expecting goals but despite dominating all the play the home forwards could not find a way past McKee. Gauntlett, Stannard and Jimmy Smith were all guilty of missing good chances and even when the visiting goalkeeper was carried off with seven minutes to go, after a mid air collision with Stannard, they still could not find a

way through. Indeed Solari could have secured a surprise win when his late, 20 yard, snap shot flew just wide of the post.
