James Gray's squad managed to stop the rot of a 9 match losing streak this afternoon, earning a point against visitors Tiverton Town. In ordinary circumstances Greens fans might be disappointed not to take all three - having been 2-0 up at half time - but the relief of not taking the losing streak into double figures will likely have trumped those feeling.

Bayley Brown opened the scoring in the 11th minute from close range, while Shaquille Hippolyte-Patrick doubled the lead just ten minutes later. However, the visitors came out stronger after half time and two quick in four minutes goals through Levi Landricombe and Tom Bath brought them level with around 40 minutes still to play.

Both sides had their chances to take the three points, but with both teams having gone through a tough patch of form they'll likely be happy just to have avoided chalking up a further defeat.
