Rushall 1 Willenhall Town 1
Rushall Olympic may well have considered the end result as two points lost rather than one point gained after conceding an 88th minute equaliser against neighbours Willenhall.
Despite the result the Pics still hold on to the crucial final promotion play-off spot by three points.
The Lockmen were first to show after only three minutes when Tony Nicholls hooked marginally wide of Tony Breeden's left-hand post.
Rushall responded with Neil Grainger firing wide when he was one-on-one with keeper Stuart Brock.
Willenhall defender Craig Milligan tried his luck from the edge of the box with a curling drive that flew wide wide.
Only a breathtaking reflex save from Breeden denied Tyrone Barnett volleying Willenhall in front before the break.
Rushall threatend after the break when Junior Brown drilled a low shot inches wide of the post.
As the game moved into a scrappy phase it was Willenhall who began to create the lion's share of the limited goal scoring opportunities and on 56 minutes Breeden had to claim the ball at the second attempt Tony Nicholls' dipping 20 yard strike was initially fumbled low down.
The home side nosed in front when top scorer Richard Beale fired home from the penalty spot after Nicholls had handled Neil Barnfield's shot.
As the clock ticked down, Beale's goal appeared to be enough to claim maximum points for the home side, but their victory hopes were dashed two minutes from time.
A free-kick promptly pumped into the danger zone and although a firm header looked to have cleared the danger for Olympic, the ball struck a defender and fell invitingly into the path of substitute Josh McKenzie, who rifled home from close range with virtually his first touch of the game.
