With little action in between, Yellows pulled one back on 32 minutes through Sam Smith and the first-half finished 2-1.

In the second-half Yellows came out much more positively, having the better of the possession and nearly equalising 15 minutes from time, although Wisbech still presented danger in the final third.

Just as it was looking like Yellows wouldn't find a way through, Niall Towle was on hand, in the 92nd minute, to deliver a fine strike into the bottom corner to give Yellows a share of the points.

Yellows travelling supporters helped achieve a bumper attendance for the home side of 191 and boss Reece Limbert was pleased that they had something to reward their loyalty on the day.

He said: “It makes my weekend when I know we’ve sent the supporters home with something to cheer about. No doubt they’ll be going home to tell their family and friends what happened in the dying minutes and at work on Monday morning. These final few games are for them!”
