Bashley's dramatic late equaliser at Hastings United came more by accident than design.

In a thrilling finale totally out of keeping with a mundane match, substitute Lee Newman appeared to have snatched the points for Hastings with a 90th-minute strike.

But as the game entered its fifth minute of stoppage time, Andy Hough's sliced shot dropped conveniently for Jake Newton to head his first ever Bash goal over keeper Matt Brown.

Bash boss Geoff Butler laughed: "It was a complete fluke. Andy Hough sliced the ball so badly that it would have spun to the corner flag, but it went right on Jake's head!

"It was a fair result, though. We had a couple of chances through Gary Langrish and Andy Hough and they had a couple too. No side deserved to win, but we did OK."
