In the Hellenic League Premier Division, Wootton Bassett Town scored two late goals to rescue a 2-2 draw from their home clash with Highmoor Ibis.
Lee Stevens struck in the 77th minute before Levi Cox made it 2-2 with just seven minutes remaining as Highmoor, winners of five straight matches before their visit to the Corinium Stadium, blew what appeared to be a comfortable advantage.
Despite playing the majority of the game with 10 men after Jordan Brown’s red card, Highmoor appeared set to take the points after Calum Gallimore and Mitchell Parker had given them a two-goal advantage.
Bassett improved in the second period and defender Stevens dragged them back into it before Cox completed the comeback.
