Altrincham 1 Ebbsfleet 1

Liam Daish’s new-look Ebbsfleet side took a point from their trip to Altrincham in the Blue Square Premier on Saturday.

The Fleet boss (pictured) had been forced to totally revamp his squad since the end of last season and paraded seven new faces in his starting line-up.

But his young side equipped themselves well and came from behind to ensure the points were shared after James Lindie equalised in the second half.

It looked as though the Fleet were going to hold the home side for the opening half, but they fell behind after 39 minutes.

Chris Senior received the ball and the edge of the Fleet box and curled a shot past keeper Lance Cronin into the net.

Fleet rarely threatened the Altrincham goal in the first half and although the home side had the better chances most of them resulted in long range efforts that went high or wide.

But Fleet were able to draw level on 57 minutes when substitute Lindie scored within 60 seconds of coming onto the pitch.

The visitors finished the game strongly and Daish will have been pleased at his young side’s first display in competitive action.
