FOOTBALL: How Witton, Vics and Barnton fared on Saturday afternoon
WITTON Albion picked up a point on the road on Saturday afternoon as they produced the perfect response to falling behind.
Isaac Graham's goal just after the hour marks secured a 1-1 draw at Bootle, who had taken the lead just five minutes earlier through Sean Williams.
The result leaves Witton 12th in the Northern Premier League West Division table, 11 points adrift of the play-offs but a comfortable 10 clear of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, a late Joe Hurst winner allowed Northwich Victoria to shake off back-to-back defeats in the Midland Football League Premier Division.
Hurst struck three minutes from time to secure a 2-1 victory over struggling Highgate United, who had levelled just before the hour after Kieran Hamm's early strike had given Vics the lead.
The results leaves Vics 13th in the table with 32 points from 26 matches.
In the North West Counties League, Barnton had Tom Stanton to thank for securing a home victory over New Mills this afternoon.
Stanton struck twice either side of Joel Hind's effort as the Villagers ran out 3-1 winners to pick up their first victory in three games.
As a result, they sit 14th in the First Division South table.
