Last updated : 14 January 2007 By Brian Cartlidge

The hosts went ahead on ten minutes through Michael Husband but goals from Oliver Allen on 47 minutes and trailist Patrick Kavanagh five minutes later looked to be enough to give Keith Bertschin's side maximum points.

However, with just a minute of the game remaining defender Sam Oji put through his own net to level the scores and a minute into stoppage time Vale secured all three points through Louis Briscoe.

Joe Anyon, Mark McGregor, Christian Smith, Mark Soboljew, Michael Walsh, Richard Walker, Danny Campbell, Robin Hulbert, Nathan Lowndes, Michael Husbands, Joe Cardle. Subs: Levi Reid, Chris Martin, Louis Briscoe, Ross Davidson, Josh O'Grady.
