LOOKING for their sixth successive league win, Frome Town snatched a 2-2 draw against St Ives Town, coming back from a 2-0 half-time deficit with goals from Jake Jackson and Marcus Mapstone.

The hosts scored with their first attack of the match as Tom McGowan was on hand to hit a low shot into the corner in the seventh minute.

Frome responded well to going behind, and after Jon Davies had created a half chance for Jackson, a lovely, flowing move ended with Sam Teale’s shot just clearing the bar.

St Ives made it 2-0 in the 18th minute as they broke quickly following a Frome corner and McGowan produced a superb lob over Kyle Phillips into the net.

The hosts almost increased their lead twice before Frome regained their composure and in the 27th minute they were awarded a penalty as Jackson was taken down in the area.

For the first time in his Frome career, the normally-lethal Davies saw his spot kick saved .

Davies then went through several challenges to put the ball in the net, only for the referee to disallow the goal and pull the play back for a free kick in Frome’s favour.

Frome eventually were rewarded as Jackson turned in a Kris Miller right wing cross in the 63rd minute

Then, after defender Mapstone had seen his header from a Davies free kick come back off the base of a post, he was quickest to react and drove the ball home from close range .

Phillips did well to bring off a point-blank save to retain a share of the points for Frome in the final moments.
