Ebbsfleet 2 Salisbury 2

Defender James Smith's late header ensured the Fleet ended the season with a point at home to Salisbury in Blue Square Premier on Sunday.

Smith met Stacy Long's far post free-kick to head beyond the reach of keeper James Bittner.

It was the second time in the game that Ebbsfleet had to come from behind after Robert Sinclair put the visitors ahead just after the half-hour.

Paul McCarthy levelled the scores early in the second half with a header from another Long delivery.

The visitors looked to have claimed all three points when striker Matt Trubbs headed in with six minutes left but Smith had other ideas and salvaged a point for Liam Daish's side.
