Melton Town picked up an excellent point on the road when they drew 1-1 away at UCL Premier North leaders Eastwood CFC on Saturday.

Melton started well and were in front after just four minutes as lively winger Kairo Edwards-John cut in from the left and curled a shot beyond the keeper.

The Red Badgers did manage a few half-chances in the first half, but Melton’s resilient defenders kept the hosts at bay.
