Lincoln City XI held by Eastbourne Borough - the match in 18 pictures

Charley Kendall scored for Lincoln City on his return to Eastbourne Borough - but a keenly fought game ended all-square.

The home side looked far from second best, creating chances a-plenty and claiming a deserved equaliser in the final ten minutes. But on 33 minutes, from a wide right free-kick, Lincoln City took the lead – with a sweet finish from Kendall. In front of a crowd of 498, the equaliser arrived on 83 minutes, from talented Under-18 striker Haydn Beaconsfield.
