Roofers live to fight another day

JARROW Roofing face a tricky replay at Bridlington tomorrow night after drawing 2-2 in the FA Cup Preliminary Round on Saturday.
Roofing dominated long periods of the game, but were unable to finish their visitors off in the opening period, and needed a late penalty to earn another bite at the cherry.
Eifion Williams opened the scoring on 15 minutes with a near-post header, and Roofing then had a number of chances to seal the game in the first period.
But on 50 minutes an Ash Allinson 30-yard shot took a wicked deflection to deceive keeper Adam Dowell and bring Bridlington level.
Two minutes later, disaster struck, as Chibuzor Chaiiaca pounced on a back pass to fire home and give the visitors the lead, and the next five minutes saw Roofing put under severe pressure as Bridlington tried to put the game out of sight.
But Roofing weathered the storm, and got back in the game when substitute Andrew Hall was brought down in the box, for Kevin Davison to give the keeper no chance from the spot.
