Oxford City Stars coach Darryl Morvan was a happy man, despite being held to a 6-6 draw by Peterborough in their English National League encounter.

Morvan said: "Obviously we are disappointed that Peterborough equalised literally in the final second of the match, but we take many positives from the game.

"We showed our depth again with our scoring spread between several players.

"This means it will always be difficult for any opponent to stop us scoring goals."

Morvan believed the team spirit helped Stars through, and they would have deserved victory.

"We played smart hockey for the entire 60 minutes," he said. "The spirit was exceptional and the hardest thing to do after the game was convince them that they had not let anyone down.

"James (Skaife) was kicking himself for letting in the final goal, but I told him how he had kept us in games a number of times.

"We are seeing definite progress and look forward to testing ourselves against Haringey at the weekend."
