Flint Mountain Reserves 3 Denbigh Town Reserves 3

Denbigh took a valuable point away at the league leaders on Wednesday night when birthday boy Tom Salisbury netted late in a six-goal thriller.

Town were pegged back despite a two-goal lead via Sean James and Danny Clarke before Mountain took the lead, but Salisbury popped up with three minutes to spare to share the spoils.

Denbigh were taking the bull by the horns and had their reward on 38 minutes. James picked up the ball on the edge of the box following a cushioned header from Gabriel Hinchcliffe, where the midfielder poked a superb low effort into the bottom left corner.

Just a minute later Town doubled their lead. Clarke made a wonderful run forward down the left, getting into the box before thumping the ball home to make it two.

The home side came out for the second half desperately hoping to turn the score around and within three minutes forced Rory Wynne into a brilliant stop.

Three minutes later a free-kick from the edge of the box was fired on target by the hosts but Wynne again was there to deny.

However, three minutes before the hour mark a brilliant overhead kick from an uncleared corner was smashed home by Ben Richards.

On 65 minutes the scores were level as wave after wave of attacks by the hosts bore fruit. Clarke was dispossessed down the Flint right by James Dunseath who raced forward and lashed the ball home.

Denbigh’s first chance of note in the second half came when Clarke’s great work in the middle saw him feed the ball through to substitute Serhad Kanli but one on one the forward could only lift the ball over the bar.

With 11 minutes to spare the turnaround was complete for the home side when Dunseath ran on to a through ball. rounded Wynne and slotted home inside the box.

Now Denbigh were chasing the game and threw everything they had at it, paying off perfectly when James stood over a free-kick with three minutes left to play. His effort was pushed away by Harry Shannon but Salisbury was lurking and jabbed home the rebound.

Both sides had chances to win it, but it ended all-square.
