A Friday night game down at Sixfields in February and the visitors Gillingham. The Cobblers side had two changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Port vale earlier in the week with Doig and Hunt replacing Taylor and Laird.
Only 2 goals came in the game the first cake for the visitors as McDonald sent a looping header over Bunn. In the 86th minute the Cobblers managed to equalise as Robertson was on hand to finish off a Cobblers attack.
