Full-time.
9:38pm
Can't be long to go now. Where's the board when you need it?
9:36pm
YELLOW CARD. Brackley (90+2 mins): Billy Turley for time wasting.
9:34pm
Breeze ends a decent move by shooting over. You can sense the frustration around the Lane.
9:33pm
SUB. Brackley (90 mins): Tommy Winters on for Owne Story.
9:33pm
Thorley's fires the cross in and Reece volleys inches wide.
9:32pm
Marvin Robinson is down having treatment. Another delay.
9:29pm
YELLOW CARD. City (86 mins): Ellis Deeney for dissent.
9:29pm
Taylor's shot on the turnm hits Austin and Brackley clear.
9:27pm
Reece tees up Mills and he shoots over from long range.
9:21pm
Reece's free-kick from 25 yards is woeful.
9:19pm
GOAL. Brackley: Excellent work from Walker on the right feeds Diggin and he sends a powerful shot across Thompson and into the top corner.
9:17pm
The game is nicely poised at present. Either side capable of winning.
9:16pm
Ellis Deeney made to wait for what seems like an eternity to take a free-kick due to an injury to Marvin Robinson, and then blazes the ball over.
9:15pm
YELLOW CARD. Brackley (71 mins): Curtis MacDonald for bringing down Symons. It looked to me as though Symons had lost the ball and bought the foul.
9:13pm
Taylor has a shot blocked. The ball falls to Thorley and his effort hits Taylor.
9:11pm
SUB. City (67 mins): Michael Taylor comes on for Alex Meechan. Time for the striker to use his pace.
9:07pm
Story's free-kick hits the bar and goes over. Thompson was rooted to the spot.
9:05pm
Story takes advantage of a slip by Breeze, carries the ball towards the box and then fires wildly out of the ground.
9:03pm
Two corners in quick succession for City. Both come to nothing but the hosts have the bit between their teeth.
8:59pm
GOAL. City: Mills sends in the corner and Ryan Austin diverts the ball past his own keeper.
8:57pm
Thorley's free-kick is straight at the keeper.
8:56pm
One of the Brackley coaching staff is on the pitch, not happy with a decision. The steward has stepped in but the referee comes over and sends him to the stands. Biggest cheer of the night from the crowd.
8:55pm
Walker's corner for the visitors, again it's Weir with the headed clearance.
8:54pm
Diggin drills the ball in from the right but Tyler Weir gets it clear.
8:52pm
SUB. City (48 mins): Rob Elvins comes on for captain Stuart Whitehead. Not sure if that's tactical or injury-enforced.
8:51pm

8:50pm
City attacking the dressing room end in the second period.
8:49pm

8:32pm
Thorley lining up a free-kick about 25 yards out in a central area.
8:29pm
Deeney slips on the byline, Brackley nip in but Glenn Walker's shot hits Diggin. Offside flag was also up.
8:29pm
Breeze gets a lecture from the referee. He'll need to be careful now. His injury has improved though.
8:25pm
City seeing plenty of the ball, not doing a lot with it in the final third.
8:23pm
Alex Meechan controls the ball first time but is tackled as he prepares to shoot.

Another corner for the hosts. Deeney with the inswinger, headed away on the near post.
8:15pm
Brackley free-kick from the left flank. Story takes it, Stuart Whitehead heads clear. Danger averted.
8:11pm
Fierce left-foot shot from Tom Thorley is parried by the keeper. That's woken the crowd up again.
8:05pm
Deeney's corner is wasted. City will need to do better than that.
8:02pm
GOAL. Brackley: Owen Story races down the right and his cross is turned home by Diggin.
8:01pm
Nisevic's cross into the six-yard box somehow evades Steve Diggin and Marvin Robinson and City escape.
8:00pm
Matt Breeze has hurt himself in tackling Eddie Nisevic. He's not moving very freely.
7:56pm
This time the ball is delivered to the back post but Mike Symons is unable to get his head to it.
7:55pm
Mills delivers from the left again, Curtis MacDonald stabs the ball behind and City have a third successive corner.
7:54pm
It's a City corner. Taken by Greg Mills and flicked over by a defender for another.
7:53pm
A positive start from City, Deeney and Danny Edwards in particular.

Our forward line however was shackled by the visitors large defensive players and City's high balls into their half was easily contained.We needed to get round the back of them to have more chances.We could have however have done more with our free kicks awarded just outside Brackleys six yard area. Why Tom Thorley didnt take them beats me especially when some of them easily finished up in the gardens of houses behind the goal. Pleased to see another good crowd it was a shame that the City could not have got something out of it but there are positive signs that we will have a good last season at the lane.
