Mick Norbury’s Maltby Main came close to recording a third win in eight days in the 1-1 draw with Pickering Town
Joel Ramm’s late goal denied Mick Norbury’s Maltby Main their third consecutive victory in the 1-1 draw with Pickering Town in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division.
Maltby were seeking a third win in eight days following last week’s victory over Staveley and then the superb Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup success over Athersley in midweek.
And they got off to a great start with their talisman Brian Cusworth heading home a superbly floated cross from Nicky Darker.
Luke Norbury came close to doubling the lead before Pickering hit back in the second half.
Reece Wesley had to make one goal-saving interception as Pickering piled on the pressure.
Pickering equalised in the 70th minute with Ramm being in the right place at the right time – firing through Luke Herriott’s legs to score.
Maltby nearly won the game late on, but Luke Norbury’s goal was ruled out.
