Points shared on a sad day

15 minutes from the end of this contest came the moment when North End had the perfect chance to say goodbye to Sir Tom Finney, a quality cross from substitute Lee Holmes saw the diving Kevin Davies head wide with the goal at his mercy, with the miss went North Ends last chance to take all three points against Leyton Orient.

An immaculate minute's silence, wreaths presented by both clubs to Sir Tom's son and applause on seven were worthy tribute to the great man
The first half wasn't great and not surprisingly North End were very slow to start, Orient should have been ahead after five minutes but Mooney's close range effort was well saved by Rudd, it wasn't great defending by the home side.
North End started to come to terms with the visitors and started to play some decent football, Craig Davies being denied by keeper Jakupovic, he also looked to have been brought down in the area but Mr Whitestone waved play on.
Slightly against the run of play Orient took the lead close when more poor defending by the home side left Baudry with time to pick his spot following a free kick. (0-1)
The second half was a one sided affair as North End tried to rescue the game although Mooney missed a glorious chance to extend the lead when shooting high and wide when a pass to an unmarked colleague may have been a better option.
Just after the hour mark North End levelled from the penalty spot, when Baudrey bundled over Craig Davies, may have been harsh but as the ref had given us sod all all afternoon, it was gratefully accepted by Garner who beat the keeper from the spot. (1-1)
North End piled on the pressure but the Davies miss was the only real chance they had, honours even.
Spent the afternoon in the executive box, very refined atmosphere, no swearing was heard, can't be doing with that.
