Racers end away defeat run with point at Coventry United

Racing Club Warwick travelled to Coventry looking to end their run of defeats away from Townsend Meadow and were unlucky to leave with just a point.

Racing fielded their two new signings Rudy Misambo and Danico Johnson and the returning Kevin Thornton, Danny Fraser and Ty Knight helped to strengthen the starting eleven as they looked to end a run of away league defeats. Charlie Bannister was called upon early on tipping a long range effort round the post before Knight fed Fraser who fired over. Knight again did well down the left and fed Trea Bertie who's shot was cleared off the line. Just as Racing seemed to be getting the edge a fine cross from the left picked out Matthew Gardner completely unmarked and his fine finish put United ahead on 25 minutes.

Fraser had a shot on the left narrowly miss the far post before Gardner almost made it two with a crashing header against the bar as United finished the half strongly.

Second half and a super long ball from Joe Smith put Fraser in but with the keeper to beat he shot wide before some smart Racing play saw Misambo try a speculative effort that went well over. Again, with Racing on top, Gardner almost put the game out of their reach missing a simple header. Fraser and Dale Wigmore were always in the thick of the action and Fraser's long range effort was well tipped over by the United keeper Francis.

Just as it looked like Racing were heading for another away defeat, the once again impressive Wigmore took a quick throw to Knight who was dragged backwards. The referee took his time, maybe confused by the multitude of lines on the new artificial pitch, but eventually pointed to the spot. Thornton stepped up to stroke home and Racing were deservedly level on 84 minutes.

Bertie almost snatched all three points after being fed by Tory Herbert but the shot dragged wide before a Camwell free-kick was well saved by Bannister.

Racing host Long Eaton the FA Vase on Saturday, 3pm kickoff.
