A sensational second half comeback saw Hartpury FC earn a point, in a 2-2 draw against league leaders Frome Town on Saturday.
Goals from Billy Osborn and Noah Coates saw the Acorns extend their unbeaten streak to nine games in the Southern League Div One South and remain unbeaten home since October.
Frome started on the front foot the opening effort on two minutes when George Dowling’s volleyed effort dipped over the bar, from 18-yards.
It was all Frome in the opening 10 minutes, as Zac Drew fired over from close range following a fantastic touch out of the sky.
Drew went close again on 13 minutes when his lifted effort struck the crossbar.
Frome continued to apply pressure through Archie Ferris and Sam Meakes, with Ferris bending wide on 19 minutes, before Meakes saw an effort well saved by Seth Locke a minute later.
That pressure was rewarded with a three minute double for Ferris who headed home on 24 minutes before picking out the bottom corner on 27 minutes.
Dowling had the final effort of a Frome dominant half when his volleyed effort curled the wrong side of the post, on 44 minutes.
HALF TIME – HARTPURY FC 0-2 FROME TOWN
Locke denied Ferris a hat-trick when he got down well to deny his headed effort, before the Acorns goalkeeper turned the follow up around the post.
The Acorns got one back on 67 minutes when Osborn’s saved effort rebounded off the striker and in to the back of the net.
Coates then levelled the game for the Acorns on 74 minutes when he bundled a Louis Manning free-kick in at the front post.
Frome tried finding a late winner when Meakes met an inviting cross but somehow placed his header over the bar on 86 minutes.
As the game entered 90 minutes, Manning got free inside the area, unleashed a fierce effort towards goal, but it was well beaten away.
That saw the game end level bringing an end to both teams winning runs but saw the Acorns extend their unbeaten streak and gain a valuable point towards the play-offs.
The Acorns will look to build on this point as we take a trip to Didcot Town next Saturday.
