These two sides played out an entertaining draw on a crisp Tuesday evening at The Hive in the Bees final pre-season friendly before they welcome Newport County in the Carabao Cup next Tuesday.

The Chairboys took the lead in tenth minute when a run on the left from Ewen Henderson was finished by Richard Kone in the box.

Kone had a chance to double the visitors lead minutes later but the trialist Bees keeper pulled off a good save to keep the score at one.

Ryan Glover had a great chance to level just before the 20 minute mark but found keeper Mikki Van Sas in the way.

The game ebbed and flowed and, with half time approaching, Glover could only place his header past the post.

Within minutes of the second half starting, it was the turn of Bees’ midfielder Mark Shelton to try his luck but Wycombe sub keeper Will Norris blocked the ball with his legs.

A poor back pass by Glover on the hour was intercepted by Kone, but he could only strike the ball against the keeper.

The Bees made several changes on the hour but it was the Chairboys who created the next chance, a vicious Alex Lowry shot which flashed just wide of the far post.

With fifteen minutes to go, the Bees levelled when Scott High floated a free kick into the six yard area finding Ryan Galvin who poked the ball beyond Norris and into the net.

After that, chances at both ends for a winning goal came to nothing and a draw ensued.

Attention now turns to next Tuesday and the visit of the Exiles.
