Chance!
Mandeville pokes a ball through to Quigley inside the box. The striker smashes the ball down the middle, Walkes stands tall and parries for a corner.
Covolan
Drops to the floor after an off-the-ball incident with a Barnet man as the visitors for ready to take a corner. Referee didn’t see it, and neither did to be honest. Nothing given.
Barnet’s De Havilland goes through on goal but Covolan saves well. It was a simple ball over the top and the defence was nowhere. That has happened a couple of times now.
