Martham 3, Harleston 3
Harleston were denied victory by a late equaliser for the second game running as they earned their third draw in as many games in this hard-fought battle against a spirited Martham side.
David Norman clipped the bar with a 25-yard belter with the keeper beaten. Despite their dominance Harleston went in level at the break.
The second half started in the same vain as the first with Harleston on the front foot. Town deservedly took the lead when Marc Pearce turned his man in the box before despatching the ball home with a fine finish. Then Jake Imrie whipped in a dangerous corner for David Norman to get in front of the keeper and head in for the second. Martham pulled a goal back and then went level from a corner which was bundled over the line.
In the last ten minutes Fionn Goodwin Wright finished well after the keeper failed to deal with a powerful shot from James Trudgill. With just a minute remaining another Martham corner was bundled over the line.
From a Jake Imrie free-kick Ryan London headed against a post with the very last action of the game.
