WAKEHURST might have taken an early lead when, on 16 minutes, a Mark Crawford drive just shaved an upright.

And they were denied once more on 31 minutes after a Stephen Gage header again struck a post.

The breakthrough they deserved eventually arrived five minutes after the hour when Ryan Gregg delivered an inch perfect cross into the area for Jason Paul to nod into the top corner.

However, Knockbreda secured a share of the spoils right at the end when Miquel Chines converted from the spot.
