Liam Murray's goal 14 minutes from time earned Redditch United a point against Blyth Spartans at Valley Stadium in Blue Square North.

Redditch started brightly and led at the interval courtesy of central defender Tom Birch's 17th-minute goal.

Blyth hit back in the second period with Paul Brayson netting twice in four minutes just after the hour mark.

But Murray popped up to earn Redditch a precious point in their bid to pull away from the relegation places.

Redditch manager Gary Whild told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"We missed our opportunity to kill off the game just after half-time when we had a lot of good possession.

"We had three or four really good situations and didn't turn them into goals.

"That came back to hurt us a bit later on in the game."
