Relegation battlers all-square

RELEGATION battlers Nomads and Cwmbran shared the spoils on Deeside. But the Crows went ahead in 63 seconds and enjoyed the unusual luxury of leading for an hour.

Josh Collins rose unopposed to head in from a corner and it was keeper Richard Lancaster who then took centre stage. The RAF man denied Craig Hutchinson, Tommy Mutton and Phil Molyneaux, although the Crows' Chris Pearce did test Paul Smith with a 25-yarder at the other end.

Constant home pressure finally brought its reward with two goals in three minutes. Stuart Cooke's superb 20-yarder was followed by a trademark Tommy Mutton effort, shrugging off defenders to slide the ball past Lancaster.

But Nomads' joy was short-lived as Pearce netted the equaliser with 11 minutes left and all-out attack from the home side failed to find a winner.
