Green travelled to Whinney Hill with a slightly different squad from the earlier 2-0 defeat against Poulton, with Warren Baker returning for his second spell at the club.

Hurst Green were slow to start, but that was to be expected with several new faces.

The home side didn't really produce anything of note, apart from a few shots outside the box which flew well over the bar, but just as Hurst Green were finding their feet, they conceded a bizarre goal.

Keeper Steve Young bizarrely made a meal of a tame 40-yard effort, and the Whinney Hill midfielder was on hand to chip over the beleagured stopper.

Green recovered well and started to play some neat interchanges with Malley, Tipton, Paul Chippendale and Danny Walker working well together.
This dangerous combination created the first goal, as Chippendale lashed in a shot just inside the box.

Minutes later Chippendale grabbed his second as he cooly side-footed home following good work from Tipton.

However, Whinney Hill equalised after another howler from Young.
Green made changes at half-time and looked comfortable against the home side, Walker and Chippendale looking particularly dangerous up front.

Green had a shot cleared off the line midway through the half, and looked to have won the game as Walker volleyed home a superb effort with minutes to spare, but in injury time, the home side equalised.

Green now face Clitheroe RBL on Saturday at home, with several other players expected to be used.
