Achilles 2 - 2 Crane Sports 29/3/14

Achilles made the early running as Cranes Sports playing three at the back struggled to cope with the home attack. Andy Coote broke the offside line but keeper Jack Foster did well before Coote again just failed to turn in Joe Revel's cross. But it was the visitors that took the lead on 12 minutes through a fine run and shot from 25 yards by Chris Lay. Lay doubled Cranes lead from a free kick heading powerfully into the roof of the net. Achilles pulled one back on the stroke of half time, Coote converting from an acute angle after receiving the ball with his back to the goal.

Achilles controlled the second half but Cranes defended stoutly twice clearing off the goal line. The visitors survived a penalty appeal as Liam Hillyard's shot struck raised hands before Achilles brought on Ben Taylor as an extra forward. And it was Taylor who provided the cross that Hillyard forced home for the equaliser 10 minutes from time.
