Ten minutes into the second half Craig Tankard raced through beating a couple of defenders before firing home. Beavers made it 3-0 with a good shot from the edge of the area into the top corner. With only ten minutes left a defensive mix up gifted what looked like a consolation goal when Steve Ward found the back of the net Within minutes Fairburn scored a second when Glen Jackson fired home from close range. Fairburn scored the equaliser with only a minute left when Penny conceded a free kick 25yds out and Steve Ward hit a screamer into the top corner.
