Lynn 1 Tamworth 1 | ||
STRIKER Zeke Rowe snatched an injury-time equaliser to deservedly halt a run of three successive defeats. Rowe terrorised the Tamworth defence throughout the afternoon. He was on hand to stab home substitute Lee Hudson's knockdown after former manager Gary Mills and his Tamworth side had threatened to take the points. "It was starting to play on his mind a little because he wasn't putting the ball in the net but we told him to keep plugging away and he has got his reward." Wright felt Lynn deserved their late point, even though his side had to endure a few anxious moments in the second-half. |
The frontman only had the Lambs' keeper Darren Acton to beat in the 65th minute, but directed his chip over the bar when it would have been easier to score. Tamworth, who fielded former Lynn players Mark Turner and Lee Wilson, as well as Mills, took the lead in the 75th minute when Rob Warner sprinted down the right before crossing for Mark Hallam to head home. Turner was the most impressive of the former Lynn players on show, looking a threat whenever Tamworth ventured into the Linnets' penalty area. The biggest cheer of the afternoon came when Mills limped off the field in the 37th minute, while Wilson rarely had a sniff on goal. Kevin White, who also shone with Rowe, looked the most likely to score. Twice in the opening half-hour he came close to breaching a stubborn Tamworth defence. Tamworth s best chance came seven minutes before the break when Wilson found space in the box only to see his drilled shot well saved by the legs of Steve Wilson.
