Jake Squires put the hosts ahead on the stroke of half time but Myron Gibbons scored in his third successive game since joining Main to equalise just before the hour mark.

Conner Williamson’s last minute goal earned Ben Hunter’s side a 12th win from 17 games and saw them take over at the top of the table thanks to results elsewhere.
