  Scorers : Healy, McKie
       

 

Southbank scored a last minute penalty to secure their first away point of the season with a draw against IBIS. With the game deadlocked after 70 mins, Southbank took the lead through Neil Healy. Healy found the back of the net, after Jason McKie’s initial shot had been saved by the IBIS stopper. Healy composed himself turned a defender and drilled home from 12 yards with his left foot.
 
Southbank hoped to consolidate that position but found themselves on the wrong end of a dubious penalty decision a couple of minutes later. Danny Fitzpatrick harshly adjudged to have handled in the area, gave IBIS the opportunity to equalise. The penalty kick was saved by the impressive Steve Marshall in goal but did not have the luck of previous weeks as his save rebounded straight to the penalty taker who made no mistake to equalise.

IBIS were now dominating the game as the large pitch began to take its toll, they looked dangerous every time they went forward and took the lead and turn the game around on 75 mins. Some poor defending from Southbank allowed Martin Abery to pick up a loose ball in the left back area drive into goal and finish easily to give IBIS the ahead.
 
Things looked bleak for Southbank as the clock ticked down and the frustration grew. IBIS had several long range chances to seal a third and Olly Bradbury commanding again in central defence kept Southbank in the game and enabled the drama at the end, Benji William’s fouled by the last man as he tried to turn, allowed Jason McKie to grab his 5th goal for the season from the spot and secure a hard fought point for Southbank.
