Highlights: Wroxham 2 Felixstowe and Walton United 2

The Seasiders come from behind to snatch a last-gasp point

Felixstowe and Walton United travelled to Wroxham looking for a sixth consecutive win- and to narrow the gap between themselves and leaders Bury Town- but in the end were lucky to take a point. The Yachtsmen, under new/returned boss Jordan Southgate once more, charged into an early lead, Craig Parker putting them ahead on thirteen minutes from the edge of the box, and quickly doubled it, Ryan Hawkins seventh goal in eleven appearances making it two on twenty five minutes, this one coming after a defensive error. That, it seemed, was that, and then with four minutes to go a Josh Mayhew goal- his eighth of the season- gave the Seasiders a lifeline, and they somehow managed to grab it. Six added minutes had been played when up popped Thomas Warren to earn the visitors a point, and it leaves them in third place, seven points behind Bury with two games in hand. The Yachtsmen are twenty first, four points from safety- and Stefan Peck’s image shows how both players and fans felt after that late leveller. Football in a nutshell, eh?
