Swindon Town Rushden and Diamonds
T.Mooney (9'), A.Gurney (17' pen), D.Duke (76'), B.Hunter (90' o.g.)
HT: 2-0 A.Reeves (53' o.g.), R.Jack (77')
Attendance:  7,023 (396 away fans)   Referee:  T. Parkes



 
The game with Rushden turns into a battle - after the Town run away into a two goal lead, Alan Reeves nets an own goal to get the Diamonds back into it. David Duke restores the Town's two goal advantage, only for Rodney Jack to net just a minute later - but thankfully, after war all afternoon with Rory Fallon, Barry Hunter returns Reeves' favour in the last minute to wrap it up for Swindon.
