During the third goal incident, goalkeeper Levi Owen suffered an injury that forced right-back Jack Cully to take over in goal for the remainder of the match.

Despite the pressure, Cully produced a couple of decent stops to keep Dinnington Town within touching distance.

With five minutes of added time signalled, the hosts pushed hard for a late response.

Deep into stoppage time, Jordan Turner rose again to head home his third of the afternoon in the 94th minute, completing his hat-trick and securing a dramatic 3-3 draw.
