A THRILLING 2-2 draw in Sydenhams Wessex Division One was shared between high-flyers Laverstock and Ford at Christchurch.

Lavvy, on their last away outing, led at half time through Archie Lovegrove flicking home Adam Jones' corner.

Top marksman Luke Stone restored parity in the 58th minute when making no error in a one-on-one situation.

James Clifton, who emerged from the bench, looked to have struck a winner with a deflected effort as the visitors regained their lead.

But they were denied their first win in four league games when Stone fired low past Alexis Aguer for the leveller.

Lavvy's joint manager Liam McConnell commented: "We were not good, despite our disappointing away form this season.

"We saw this as a perfect way to finish on our travels, picking up a point against a top six side on paper seems a good result, yet we were well below-par.

"It's important we finish in style on Saturday after the good work the lads have put in this season."
