Chasetown comeback twice to earn draw
Chasetown came from behind twice to preserve their unbeaten record on Romulus' 3G pitch.
They could not have wished for a worse start with James Reid netting inside the first two minutes to give the Sutton Coldfield side the lead in the Evo-Stik Division One South clash.
The Scholars responded brightly, though, and a Jack Lees effort over the crossbar and a drive from Jono Gould which was pushed wide for a corner gave the visitors plenty of encouragement.
Joe Halsall also went close before Chasetown deservedly drew level in the 26th minute.
Full-back Todd Evans threw long to the near post where Richard Teesdale put pressure on former Scholar Lee Smith who could only head towards his own goal with keeper Paul Evans unable to keep the ball out.
Reid was a constant threat for the home side and, against the run of play, the striker gave his side the advantage a minute before the break. He created space for the shot and drove a low effort goalwards which deflected off Tesfa Robinson, wrong-footing Watson and trickling into the opposite corner.
Reid forced Watson into two early second-half saves before Chasetown picked themselves up and drew level for the second time.
Just five minutes into the second period, Gould took a quick corner short to Lee Butler who whipped the ball towards the far post. Halsall chipped it back into the box where Evans bulleted a header beyond his namesake for his first goal for the club.
Evans almost provided another assist when Lees got on the end of his long throw and headed the ball against the crossbar.
Then, with virtually the last kick of the match, Gould's volley was blocked by Roms defender Liam Francis.
