Jimmy Holmes sent off for violent conduct, striking Francis Lee.
A midweek afternoon kick-off because of the power crisis. A gutsy performance earns City a replay. Jimmy Holmes is sent off after 18 minutes for allegedly retaliating on Lee by lifting his knee. Brian Alderson swerved in a free-kick and hit a screamer after a great run by Cartwright.
