Didcot Town extended their unbeaten Southern League Division 1 South & West run to six matches with a hard- fought 1-1 draw at Tiverton.

In blustery conditions, the hosts had a number of chances early on, but were unable to beat James Foster in the Didcot goal.

The visitors best effort was a 25-yard attempt from Pablo Haysham that was well saved.

Tiverton took the lead just after the half-hour when Ed Weeks headed in a corner from Dan Western.
