A dazzling Dean McKay strike in the 51st minute ensured the Ants didn’t leave Fullerton Park empty handed however they did feel aggrieved when Thomas Miller appeared to be pulled back in the box as he attempted to connect with a Ross Loughlin free kick but Mr Husband-Powton waived the claims away and the match finished all square.
Vale of Clyde took the lead in the 23rd minute when CONNOR STEVENSON, who looked a yard offside when the ball was slipped through to him, slipped the ball under Priestley in the Ants goal. Neither side really created many chances in the first half, Miller coming closest for the Ants with a header which went wide from a corner and Stevenson dragging a shot just wide for the Vale.
The second half was only 6 minutes old when a headed clearance only went as far as DEAN MCKAY who did well to control with his chest before sending a dipping volley over the head of the Vale keeper to level the scoring and it finished 1-1.
