The two sides also gained a point each at Dales Lane earlier in the season. The first-half provided one major talking point, as Alex Reid was booked.

The Pics winger got in behind the Sports defence and was three yards from goal with nobody to beat, when he appeared to be clipped.

However,the referee deemed this simulation and he was shown a yellow.

Sam Finlaw came the closest for Mickleover as he showed good feet before curling just wide from 18 yards before Rushall had three headed chances in quick succession.

The hosts opened the scoring as Andy Dales slotted in from Finlaw's pull back in the 53rd minute from around the penalty spot following some slack Pics marking.

However, the lead lasted just ten minutes as Taylor forced Atkins into a save but Reid was there to slot in the rebound and rescue a point for Rushall.
