Merlins Bridge 2

Angle 2

MERLINS Bridge came from behind to secure a draw with Angle at the Racecourse.

The hosts took the lead in the third minute, striker Scott Crawford got on the end of a cross from a Henry Janes cross from the right.

Angle player boss Craig Brockway equalised in the 20th minute with a 20-yard screamer that flew past Chris Thomas.

The visitors were awarded a penalty when Paul Thomas was deemed to have shoved an opponent inside the area; Lee Brockway kept his composure to finish from 12 yards.

Just before the break the Wizards equalised with Crawford scoring with a far post header. No further goals in the second period with both sides settling for a point.
