Kendal Town 3, Bishop Auckland 3.

Kendal came from behind twice to salvage a point against unimpressive Bishop Auckland.

Town were all over the visitors from the start and it came as no surprise when Kenny Mayers slammed home a rebound from his original shot in the 20th minute.

But Bishops, who had hardly ventured into the Kendal half, stunned the home side when Paul Campbell's 30 yard shot looped a shot over keeper James Salisbury into the net.

In the 33rd minute the visitors took the lead, Salisbury miscued kick at Mayers' bad back pass presenting Campbell with an open goal.

On the stroke of half-time Lee Ashcroft lobbed Bishop's keeper Darren Horrigan, the ball was hack out, but the linesman and referee agreed that it had crossed the goal line.

Fifteen minutes into the second half a goalmouth scramble saw the ball come back off the right hand post for Michael Oliver to lash in Bishop's third.

Defender Dene Whittal-Williams was introduced in the 75th minute with Ricky Mercer moving up to midfield in place of the tiring Mayers.

Mercer's persistence forced the equaliser in the 81st minutes as his header came back off the post and Foster netted the rebound..

A point was certainly better than nothing, but Town will need to perform better on Saturday when Colwyn Bay, one of the UniBond League First Division title hopefuls are the visitors to Parkside.
