Spalding United 1 (Walker 11')
Bromsgrove Sporting 1 (Lycett 89')

A late Carter Lycett goal ensured Bromsgrove Sporting would leave Lincolnshire with a valuable point.

Spalding skipper Glenn Walker gave the home side the lead after 11 minutes but the Rouslers equalised with a minute of normal time remaining, ensuring both sides would go the entirety of December unbeaten.

The Tulips started the game brightly, with midfielder Lewis Hilliard hitting an effort over in the eighth minute.

The opener came three minutes later, as Walker's shot found the bottom corner, taking the slightest of deflections on the way.

Walker had further chances to double his tally - he had a strike inside the area well saved by Sporting keeper Charlie Price before poking another effort over.

The 38th minute saw Bromsgrove winger Fin Holmes have a shot blocked inside the box.

Spalding had more chances midway through the second half, with the in-form Bartosz Cybulski heading a Dion Sembie-Ferris cross wide before Price made another fine save, this time from a fierce Hilliard drive.

Sporting forced Spalding stopper Tony Breeden into two big saves late in the half, tipping over a decent Billy Shaw attempt before blocking a Theo Robinson shot from close range.

The Bromsgrove pressure eventually led to the equaliser, in the 89th minute, as Lycett struck the ball neatly past Breeden after being set up cleverly by Robinson.
