Preece grabbed Forest Green's equaliser on 73 minutes

Mark Preece's 73rd-minute equaliser earned struggling Forest Green a point against Cambridge at the New Lawn.

Michael Symons scored his first goal for Rovers to give them the lead with a neat finish on 20 minutes.

Wayne Hatswell's header provided the equaliser for Cambridge, who took the lead just past the hour thanks to a Danny Crow headed goal.

But Cambridge undid all their good work when they failed to clear a free-kick and Preece stabbed home.
