Even though both sides made first half-chances, it was only in the last minute of the 45 that the dead-lock was broken, as a long-range shot was too hot to handle for the Gills’ keeper and Anthony Potts was on hand to stick the spilled ball into the net.

The sides exchanged penalties, as Gillingham equalised in the second half, only for Ollie Morah to be fouled and Vic Hardwicke converted from 12 yards.  Potts bagged his second of the game and a late goal for Gillingham with a shot from outside the box ended up only being a consolation.

Teams :
Spurs – Ian Walker, Luke Young, Steven Bence, Warren Hackett, Stuart Nethercott, Vic Hardwicke, Lee Fulling, Kevin Smith, Ollie Morah, Anthony Potts, Scott-Aaron Houghton (Chris Kinnear 80).

Dominating the first quarter of the match, Tottenham only had one goal to show for their control of the game, with Robert Brace scoring following good work on the left wing by David Hawkes and Terry Robbins and a clever cushioned header by Paul Wilkins into his path to find the net.

A shot from outside the area from Gillingham that beat Mark Hughes halfway through the second half was out of keeping with the game, but the team slipped below the level of their recent play and a draw was a fair result in the end.

Teams :
Spurs – Mark Hughes, R. Tomkins, Robert Poague, Ian Culverhouse, Peter Shirt, Terry Robbins, Robert Brace, John McStay, David Hawkes (Mark Bowen 67), Robert Codner, Paul Wilkins.

Coming back to 1-1 with an equaliser early in the second half, Gillingham looked like making a match of it, but Spurs hit them with three late goals.  Danny Clapton got two, with the first coming from the penalty spot for handball and then Gary Mabee rounded off the win with a fourth goal.

Tottenham had controlled the game from midfield, but failed to make openings in front of goal.  They forced two saves from the Gillingham keeper, while Spurs goalie Phil Matthews only had one save to make.

With time ticking away, Gary Mabee grabbed a goal, when he headed home John Margerrison’s cross after the home side had failed to clear a cross.
