Finchampstead slipped down a place to third after a 4-4 home draw against Golden Farmer Rangers.

Finch took the lead when Taylor Mitchinson beat the offside trap and slotted past Paul Stocks.

The lively Ollie Noyes equalised with a deflected shot from the edge of the box that beat Lewis Grant.

Gareth Ainsworth raced clear to restore Finch’s lead, but Ryan Martin’s looping header from a Dave Matthews free-kick evened things up again before the break.

Ainsworth then missed a glorious chance to restore Finch’s lead when he blazed a penalty over the bar after the interval.

The silver-heeled Noyes then put the visitors in front with an excellent solo effort, but Finch pulled it back with a second penalty, this time Byron Hobbs making no mistake.

With three minutes remaining Farmer thought they had sealed the win when Noyes was brought down and Martin converted the resulting spot-kick.

But Finch refused to lie down and made it 4-4 in the 97th minute when the ball was fired in through a crowded goalmouth from a poorly defended corner.
