It was honours even on non-league day (March 23) at the Asgard Engineering Stadium as the points were shared between Glossop North End and visitors Barnoldswick Town, with the match finishing 1-1.

Glossop went into the game on a high, having defeated West Didsbury & Chorlton in a tightly contested affair last weekend.

After a relatively uneventful first-half, the match remained goalless going into the break.

The deadlock was finally broken on 67 minutes by the hosts after Bobby Bjork's fantastic run produced a chance for Abdul Djalo who smashed the ball home to put his side ahead.

After going behind, visitors Barnoldswick began to grow into the game, creating a number of opportunities in the closing stages.

They finally made this pressure count when forward Gareth Hill levelled the scoring just three minutes from time with a powerful header which earned his side a point.

A fair result all things considered, which sees The Hillmen sit in 19th place ahead of their trip to Kendal Town this weekend.
