hemel who are on top of the calour gas league one step above witham dominated long periods of the first half , but withams defence were at their best with keeper danny sambridge making some good saves.the home team took an early lead when in the 8th minute david pearce fired in from the edge of the area, and only a spectacular save from danny sambridge from ben mackey prevented them going further ahead , plus lewis toomey skided the ball over from close range. witham had a good chance when kris newby was put through but his shot was weak and laurie walker saved easily.just before half time kris newby leveled with a neat over head kick.
