Royal Wootton Bassett Town Development conceded a last minute equaliser in an entertaining encounter away at Salisbury Development.

Mani Mesas gave Bassett an early lead from a corner, but Ferhat Canlier continued his recent good form in front of goal with an equaliser for Salisbury just after the half hour mark.

Jack Stacey then put Salisbury ahead in injury time at the end of the half to give the home side a 2-1 lead at half time.

A Dylan Griffin double turned the game around in the second half, his second coming from the penalty spot 16 minutes from time.

There was to be late drama though with Salisbury equalising in the dying seconds through Dilon Gurung to mean the points would be shared.

Larkhall's win saw Bassett Town drop a place to 14th, five points clear of Salisbury who have the one game in hand.

Bassett, assuming no change in the anticipated movements between the League and Step 6, are now safe while Salisbury are also looking like they will survive.

Indeed Salisbury can still overtake Bassett but must win their last two games to do so.
