Yeovil 1 Swindon 1

RESULT: Yeovil Town 1 Swindon Town 1
Yeovil scorer: Hayter 34
Swindon scorer: Williams 71 Over 1,500 Town fans descended on Yeovil to see substitute Andy Williams grab a much needed point.
In what is now regarded as a 'west country local derby', Swindon came from behind after James Hayter gave an energetic home side the lead with ten minutes to go to half-time.
But with travelling support Nathan Byrne later described as 'outstanding', Swindon survived further pressing and pressure to carve out chances of their own after the break.
And when Yaser Kasim shot just wide in the 69th minute, Town's faithful almost willed the ball in the net two minutes later.
Andy Williams was the scorer (on at half-time for Obika), after nicely right-footing the equaliser and his fifth of the season.
Town even survived Nathan Thompson being sent off with 12 minutes to go.
"The break has all done us good," said manager Mark Cooper, "but I'm glad we're back in action again and I'm happy with a point."
Swindon stay third but with two games in hand on the leaders.
