Goals from Pat Harding and Ben Pope looked to be enough for all three points at Bishops Stortford, but the former Norwich City and Bristol Rovers striker scored in the 90th minute, his second of the game, to claim a point for the home side.

This was Simon Wormull and John Rattle's first game in charge after Ian Chapman took a short leave of absence in his role as manager.
