Tonbridge came from behind to secure a replay with Bishop's Stortford in their FA Trophy third qualifying round tie on Saturday.

Michael Boateng's 70th minute strike saw Tommy Warrilow's (pictured) side come away with a 1-1 draw after Danny Subuola had put Stortford ahead on 57 minutes.

Kayne McLaggon went close to scoring early on for Tonbridge when his right-foot shot flashed wide and Ben Judge hit the post when he latched on to Frannie Collin's free-kick.

McLaggon was denied by a save from Stortford keeper Jordan Archer just before the break as Tonbridge dominated the opening 45 minutes without finding a goal.

The sucker-punch came 12 minutes into the second half when Paco Craig's clever ball put Subuola through to squeeze a shot past keeper Lee Worgan. The hosts were ahead against the run of play, but Tonbridge mounted a quick response.

McLaggon's cross field pass was headed on by Mikel Suarez and Lee Browning, before Boateng thundered a shot home for the equaliser.

Sonny Miles was forced to clear a Stortford shot off the line late-on after a slip from Worgan, but the two sides will meet again at Longmead on Tuesday night.
