King's Lynn held to another draw

King's Lynn needed a late equaliser against Droylsden to make it three successive draws at the start of the season in Blue Square North.

Substitute Danny Bloomfield struck with a minute remaining to clinch a 2-2 draw at The Walks.

Jack Defty had given the Linnets a 1-0 half-time lead but goals from Kevin Townson and Carl Lamb turned the game.

The Linnets have led in all three of their matches so far this season but have yet to get their first win.

Former Leicester City and Aston Villa striker Julian Joachim set up Defty's 33rd-minute goal.

Bloomfield then replaced Defty just past the hour mark and was on hand to equalise when goalkeeper Jon Kennedy failed to hold onto Greg Crane's knockdown.

The result leaves Keith Webb's side 15th in the fledgling league table in their first ever season at Conference level.

Bloomfield told BBC Radio Norfolk: "It felt pretty good to get a chance like that in the last minute.

"You just never know when it's going to happen so I try to follow everything in and this one popped out of the goalkeeper's hands so I was quite thankful."

King's Lynn go to Alfreton Town in their next league game on Saturday, 23 August.
