Gillingham 1 Swindon Town 1: League 2 match from Priestfield Stadium

Gillingham goalscorer Joe Gbode was sent off at the end of the game against Swindon Town – seconds after Jonny Williams was also dismissed.

Gbode’s second goal in two games had quickly been cancelled by former Gills defender Will Wright and the Gills finished the game with nine men after two stoppage-time red cards.

Gills were well backed in their final game of the season at Priestfield, but their home campaign ended with a draw against their old rivals Swindon.

The Gills went into the game 10 unbeaten in League 2, with manager Gareth Ainsworth yet to taste a defeat since taking charge. It’s now 11 without loss for the Gills ahead of their final game of the season at newly promoted Port Vale next weekend.

Elliott Nevitt returned to the starting line-up for the Gills to replace injured Oli Hawkins (broken hand). It was the only change from the team which kicked off their Easter Monday match.

Both teams were playing for pride in the penultimate game of the season, with former Gills captain Max Ehmer given a good reception before the match as he got to say farewell ahead of his departure at the end of the season, having played 439 games for the Gills.

Sam Gale’s the new kid on the block at the back for Gillingham and he picked up his young player-of-the-year award from the supporters’ club before kick off.

Gale was tasked with trying to keep Chatham-born striker Harry Smith quiet, the big man leading the line for the visitors with ex-Gills man Tom Nichols in support.

Swindon bossed the first half without creating too many clear-cut chances but the Gills had a great early chance.

Bradley Dack’s low drive hit Robbie McKenzie, the midfielder then laying the ball off for Nevitt but his thunderous volley hit the visiting keeper
