After a disastrous first half that saw the home side trailing 2-0 at the break, Charlie Blakemore's side pulled out all the stops to battle back and produce a late equaliser.

On a very wet and slippery pitch, this game looked sluggish in the opening 20 minutes but that was just a cover of the drama that was to unfold in front of a bumper 719 crowd that braved the elements.

Kinder fired past Lee Evans on 28 minutes and the visitors doubled their lead in the 35th minute when a deep free kick dropped between the line of defenders and keeper with Aman alert enough to nip into the space to tuck the ball home.

After stern words in the dressing room it was a different Scholars side that took to the field after the break.

The incidents came thick and fast. A flashpoint involving most of the two sides resulted in Kyle Perry and Nick Hawkins receiving bookings whilst Bedworth's Greenway was shown a straight red card.

Chasetown made the most of their numerical advantage and Perry pulled a goal back for the Blues on 75 minutes before the same man equalised in the 89th minute.
