The visitors scored in the eighth minute of stoppage time to nick a point, despite having had James Petronzio sent off midway through the first-half, his handball stopping a goalbound shot on the line and Alfie Dodsworth netting the resultant penalty.

Fraser Paprill levelled the scores on 67 minutes but Adam Scott soon restored Ollerton’s lead.
