Boston United were left to rue missed opportunities as Altrincham fought back to claim a dramatic point at the death. The hosts took an early lead through Luca Barrington's 12th-minute strike but struggled to build on their advantage as the match became increasingly fractious. Declan Howe's equalizer just after the restart shifted momentum toward the visitors, and Jimmy Knowles put Altrincham ahead on the hour mark with what looked to be the decisive goal. However, substitute Tom Cursons emerged as Boston's unlikely hero, firing home a crucial leveller in the 90th minute to salvage a point for the struggling hosts.
