Bath City 1 Worcester City 1. Bath boss Adie Britton was left disappointed after his side picked up a point at home to struggling Worcester City.

Mike Perrott's spectacular volley equalised Rob Elvins' first-half strike but, despite dominating much of the game, City were unable to find a winner.

"We didn't start that quickly,

although we played some football in the first half and got the ball down – we're determined to go and play a certain way," he said.

"We just didn't pass it that slickly in the first half, but credit to the lads, they've come out in the second half and totally dominated the game.

"They passed the ball and created opportunities – we had enough chances to win the game.

"I was pleased with Mike Perrott – he was out on his feet and had cramp at the end.

"He took his goal very well and had three other opportunities."

Both sides struggled to create chances in the opening half-hour, but Bath were enjoying the better of the possession and went close on 33 minutes when Perrott's goalbound shot was blocked by Mark Clyde.

However, against the run of play, Marco Adaggio crossed for strike partner Rob Elvins to give the visitors the lead.

The hosts nearly equalised straight away but Perrott could not deflect Sido Jombati's shot on target.

The home side drew level when Jombati's cross was volleyed home by Perrott.

Bath had two chances to claim a winner, with Gethin Jones heading wide and Perrott bringing a diving save out of Ben Hinchcliffe.
