Town went behind to a goal from Alex Roberts, Daventry keeper Richard Morris getting a good hand to the ball, but not enough to prevent Southam from taking an early lead.
A good cross from Mykel Beckley almost found the head of Ashley Robinson but the ball was just too high for the striker to make a good contact.
Liam Dolman unusually lost the ball at his feet allowing striker Simeon Smith with a free run and shot at goal, but Daventry keeper Richard Morris prevented the Southam striker from scoring with a fine save.
Smith was given space for another shot soon afterwards, which went narrowly past the post.
Southam could have increased their lead, but it was Daventry who equalised, Joe Coleman won the ball out on the right and found Mykel Beckley, who delivered a fine cross to Ashley Robinson, who scrambled the ball into the net, right on half time.
Another great cross from Beckley, having another good game, narrowly failed to reach the outstretched foot of Josh Blake, as Daventry tried to take advantage of the strong breeze in the second half.
Daventry were awarded a penalty for handball, after a shot from full back Marcel Simpson was blocked, Ashley Robinson was unlucky to see his kick hit the post, as Southam began to tire.
Southam made a number of substitutions and this not surprisingly upset the balance of their side and it was the in- form Mykel Beckley who put Town into the lead, the ball dropping kindly for him to hit his shot wide of the sixteen year old Southam youth keeper.
Darran Foster bought on a number of players from injury to give them some minutes on the field, Chris Murphy, Kyle Cartwright, Scott Cross and the new Portugese signing Fabio.
Daventry now have just two more games before the big kick off, next Tuesday (6th August) Town entertain Brinklow and the final game is against Sutton Coldfield based Romulus next Saturday(10th August), both matches being played at Communications Park, Daventry.
