Sixteen-year-old Matty Pinder scored with the last kick of the game as ten-man Worsbrough staged more late heroics.
In a dramatic finale, a week on from Worsbrough’s dramatic win at Yorkshire Amateur, Tom Woolard had appeared to have won it for Knaresborough.
Worsbrough led for a considerable amount of time as Brad Kerr was on the scoresheet again for Bridge with his first half goal.
Knaresborough really threw the kitchen sink as the second half wore on and luck was going against them, especially when Gary Collier’s header hit the post.

Eventually a bullet header from captain Will Lenehan levelled the scores.
Non League legend Mark ‘Willy’ Wilson was then shown a straight red card for a challenge on Callum Rodgers.
Bridge suffered a further blow when Woolard sneaked a shot home, in the 91st minute.
But, Worsbrough are showing they cannot be written off this season as Pinder rose to head his side level in the dying seconds.
