Last-gasp goal rescues a point

Emley finally got the equaliser that their efforts deserved, a great run down the right, again, by Ben Mills and his perfect cross was met by Shane Hamilton coming in from the left who bundled the ball into the net from close range.

The home side came out quickest for the second half, Ben Mills found himself bearing down on goal but the keeper did well to save, then, a few minutes later, after a couple of corners, Wayne Hughes found himself unmarked in the box with the ball sitting up nicely for him, but his volley was put over.

The game once again became a midfield battle with Josh Ingham and Michael Tunnacliffe the generals for Emley, but it was Grimsby who were next to turn defence into attack.

A good through-ball tore the Emley backline apart and Trott, found time to stop shouting at his team-mates and drill a well-placed shot past Ledger, just about on the hour mark. Emley brought on Nathan Howe and George Whittaker to try and change the course of the game and they dominated the last 10 minutes.

With Tunnacliffe now pulling the strings, and Stocker and Starkey raiding down the flanks, the Pewits were causing the well-drilled Borough back line some real problems and were rewarded for their efforts in stoppage time.

A Horbury shot was scrambled clear and it looked to be all in vain for Emley, but then with almost the last action of the game, a crude foul on Whittaker saw Tunnacliffe send a near perfect free-kick into the crowded area, Wayne Hughes met it with a superb glancing header that nestled into the bottom corner.
