Last updated : 06 May 2007 By Tim
14,731 packed into the County Ground the biggest attendance for many years with both sides looking for promotion.

Swindon started well with early chances from both Blair Sturrock and Jerel Ifil, but Walsall's defence was strong and held out.

A mix up in defence nearly allowed Walsall to score, but Phil Smith was able to get to the ball before Walsall could score.

It stayed 0-0 going into half time, but Swindon finally took the lead after 54 minutes following a Zaaboub corner which was headed in by Jerel Ifil for his first league goal in 150 starts making it 1-0 to Swindon.

Swindon came close again, but it looked to be heading towards a 1-0 win to Swindon before in the 92nd minute Walsall equalised with a goal from 20 yards out by Dean Keates made it 1-1 much to the delight of the 3,000 Walsall fans behind the goal.

The draw was enough for Walsall to be confimed as League Two Champions, and Swindon to finish 3rd and to also go up. At the end of the game there was a pitch invasion, but after the pitch was cleared both sets of players returned for a lap of honour and both sets of players and fans would able to leave happy at the end of another season.
