GOALKEEPER turned midfielder Michael Sanderson help save a point for depleted Langlee Amateurs in a 2-2 draw with Ancrum.
New side Langlee had a 100 per cent record in Division C but only had a squad of 12 for the visit to Bridgend.
It meant Sanderson was forced to play outfield due to a lack of numbers, but he scored with a header in the first half.
Jack Kelly and Jordan Nuttall put Ancrum ahead but Des Sutherland’s 13th goal of the season ensured Langlee shared the points.
A Langlee spokesman said: “It was a battling performance by Langlee in the face of adversity with every player giving 110 per cent - even though that's technically impossible.”
