Stansted 2 Great Wakering Rovers 2

Essex Senior League, 6th February 2013

An equaliser five minutes into injury saved Wakering from defeat against lowly Stansted in an entertaining battle at Hargreaves Park this evening.  Stansted took an early lead after 9 minutes when a dipping 20 yard effort deceived the goalkeeper and he allowed it to slip through his hands and through his legs into the net.  It didn't take Wakering long to reply when on 14 minutes Striker Danny Heale tapped home on the goal line following a goalmouth scramble.  It stayed this way until 83 minutes when a corner was missed by Wakering's keeper and the stansted forward pounced at the backpost to head home.  It seemed as though Stansted would hold onto a famous victory but deep deep deep into stoppage time Wakering player manager Dan Trenkel was fouled in the box and he picked himself up to send this keeper the wrong way and it turned out to be the last kick of the game.  A draw was probably a fair result as both teams battled well on a difficult surface.
