BRADLEY Aspin notched Verwood’s early opener in a 1-1 draw against promotion-chasing Portchester at Potterne Park.
But Potters couldn’t make their first-half dominance pay and were punished when the visitors netted a late leveller.
Nathan Saxby went close to grabbing all three points in the dying moments but was denied by the Portchester goalkeeper.
Potters: Lynch, Elysee, Smith, Dear, Murray, Saxby, Dyer, Webb, Haskell, Aspin, Wrixon. Unused subs: Gajic, Richards, Scott.
• Nick Howes fired Ringwood in front on the half-hour at basement boys Shaftesbury.
But Adam Hetherington’s misplaced back-pass proved costly as Chris Roberts latched on to it in the second half and grabbed Shaftesbury a 1-1 draw.
Ringwood: Taylor, Clark, Pierson, Yeats, Eley, Marks, Hetherington (Schwartz 75), Howes, Leadbetter, Fleet (Chattey 70), Chalk (Payne 55). Unused sub: Wells.
