Biggleswade Town 1-1 Rugby Town
Biggleswade were unlucky to be held as they drew 1-1 with Rugby down despite being down to ten men in the final minutes.
Dean Bull had a strong first half making a number of saves from the Rugby forwards with Biggleswade struggling to get going early on. As the half went on Biggleswade improved a Jonathon Woolf and Paul Barnes looked especially dangerous going forward.
The first half started brightly with Barnes dribbling around three players before having his shot well saved by the Rugby Keeper Clark. However Rugby then scored against the run of play when a low cross was easily tapped in by Niki Preston. Biggleswade fired back just four minutes later when Paul Barnes lifted a looped ball over the Rugby goalkeeper and into the bottom right corner. For the rest of the game the balance of play was even with both sides producing some good attacking football. However in injury time Biggleswade had Stuart Lochhead sent off for a sliding tackle. With the scores level Dean Bull then produced a brilliant double save from Rugby forward Warwick Alexander to round off a great performance.

Biggleswade Town 1-0 Daventry Town
Biggleswade recorded their first win of the new season with a close victory over recently promoted Daventry Town.
The Waders created some good chances early on with Jonathon Woolf and Geoffrey Banks-Smith looking dangerous down the wings. Banks- Smith and Lee Harman both had chances to put Biggleswade ahead in the opening twenty minutes but Daventry Keeper Andrew Kemp was equal to both. Kemp made another good save when Stuart Lochhead attempted a cheeky chipped free kick which was tipped over the bar. The deadlock was finally broken on twenty three minutes when Banks-Smith broke free down the left wing before cutting into the box and sliding home the opener for Biggleswade. After the opener Daventry posed more of a threat with John Mitchell attacking down the left wing and after a corner into the box Peter Gatti was at hand to clear the ball of the line.
The second half proved to be less entertaining than the first with less attacking play from both sides. Woolf and Banks-Smith who had been so impressive in the first half failed to make a similar impact in the second. With ten minutes to go the game began to open up and Dean Bull was forced to make a good save from Mitchell on the left side. He then produced another good save from a Wayne Blossom header just two minutes later. There was drama at the end as Daventry were awarded a late free kick on the edge of the area but it was blaster well over Bull’s goal. Biggleswade hung on the win in a game they should have won by more but some good goalkeeping by Bull and a solid defence performance by Mark Webster ensured they hung on to the win.
