Hednesford Town score late double to earn draw - match report and video highlights
Hednesford Town struck twice in the last five minutes to earn a dramatic point against fellow Skrill North play-off hopefuls Brackley Town in a memorable game at Keys Park.
The Pitmen's comeback made it four games unbeaten at this crucial period of the season.
They suffered a blow after just eight minutes when midfielder Jamey Osborne was forced off with a suspected dislocated shoulder.
More bad news was soon to follow for Hednesford as they fell behind in the 32nd minute. Brackley midfielder Eddie Odhiambo drove forward and unleashed an unstoppable effort from 25 yards.
The home side continued to press after the break and were unlucky not to level when Marvin Johnson's low driven cross was blasted high and wide at the back post by Robbie Thompson-Brown.
They would soon suffer a sucker punch though, as in the 69th minute Brackley's Glen Walker drilled home a free-kick from 18 yards to make it 2-0.
The Pitmen set up a rousing finale when in the 86th minute the lively Johnson got down the left and his cross was tapped home at the back post by Paul Sullivan.
The team were visibly lifted by this and soon found an equaliser as the clock ticked over into the 90th minute. A ball into the box wasn't dealt with by keeper Billy Turley and his tame punch was neatly headed home by Wayne Riley.
