On This Day
A curious refereeing decision sees Villa record a third successive draw that leaves Vic Croweโs side winless in four third division games but the draw comes against fellow third placed side Halifax that allows Preston to sit four points ahead at the top of the table.
Vic Crowe's Villa draw for the third successive game to make it sixteen wins, eleven draws and seven defeats in thirty four division three games so far this season. As a result, Villa fell back to fourth in in the table, four points off leaders Preston North End.
