Unbeaten Doughboys denied yet another win by last-minute Shepshed equaliser
Wellingborough Town dropped points for only the second time this season as they were held to a 3-3 draw at Shepshed Dynamo on Saturday.
The Doughboys saw their lead at the top of the Pitching-In Northern Premier League Midlands Division trimmed to 11 points, as second-placed Sutton Coldfield were 2-1 winners over Basford United.
Jake Stone's side were so close to claiming a 16th win in 17 starts, but a 90th-minute equaliser for Shepshed denied them.
The home side had got off to a flyer as they took a 1-0 lead in the third minute thanks to a Josh Burniston goal.
Zayn Hakeem levelled the scores with a left-footed curler from the edge of the box just four minutes later, but Shepshed were in front again on 34 minutes as Chad Tomson netted.
Three minutes into the second half, George Ball rounded home goalkeeper Jake Williams to make it 2-2, before the same player turned provider as the Doughboys took the lead for the first time just 60 seconds later.
Ball battled his way past two home defenders before squaring to Ethan Johnston who netted to see the visitors go 3-2 up.
That was how it stayed until the final minute of the 90, when Timson scored his second to tie the match up at 3-3.
The result means Borough remain unbeaten after 17 league matches this season.
Stone's side have a free week before playing host to Bedworth United on Saturday (ko 3pm).
