NANTWICH Town came from a goal down to rescue their fifth draw in eight matches against the in-form Robins at Weaver Stadium.

Ashton had won their previous three matches before heading to meet Jimmy Quinn's men on Saturday, but Matt Bailey's header ended their run and earned his side a well-derserved point.

Caspar Hughes was making his returning debut for Nantwich having re-joined on loan from Crewe Alexandra and the diminutive midfielder made a telling contribution in midfield with some neat trademark passing.

Fellow Crewe Alex loanee Andy White was also impressive and it was his neat crossfield pass that found Tom Urwin on the edge of the box, with the former Stoke City youngster forcing Terry Smith into a full length save in the visitors’ goal.

Ashton came out strongly after the break and immediately started to threaten for the first time in the game.

Alex Frost should have given them the lead but he smacked the outside of the post when well placed, after Aaron Burns had guided a cross from the left.

Ashton broke the deadlock on 58 minutes, when a long throw from the right was flicked on into the path of Danny Lambert, who despatched a half-volley into the corner of Brain’s net.

But Dabbers were level just 15 minutes later, White again the orchestrator when lofting a ball into the danger area, where Matt Bailey rose for a towering header to hand his side a share of the spoils.

Nantwich: Brain, Lowe, White, MacPherson (Maguire, 76), Moss, McDonald, Urwin (Lennon 62), Hughes, Bailey, Cooke, Foster. Subs not used: Everall, Mitchell, Aspinwall.
