Will McGowan scored a late equaliser for Quakers to extend their unbeaten run to five matches.

It was a real ding-dong battle against Curzon, who led twice at 2-1 and 3-2, with Quakers battling back on each occasion.

The result means that Quakers have picked up seven points from three successive home matches, and remain in the play off positions.

Quakers took the lead after 84 seconds. Charlie Lennon had already had one run behind the back of the defence in the opening minute, but he was more successful with his second involvement, when he picked the ball up on the left and curled into the middle, where the keeper failed to hold the ball under pressure, and Cedric Main stabbed the ball home.

Lennon had another chance on 4 minutes, but Callum Hawkins managed to block his effort.

Main had another opportunity on 8 minutes, when he turned quickly inside the area and hit a low right foot shot that went just past the far post.

Quakers had an optimistic shout for a penalty for handball on 15 minutes when McGowan’s corner was intercepted by the first defender, but the referee waved play on.

They had another chance on 16 minutes when Lennon played the ball infield for Main to run to the edge of the box, but his low shot was saved by Hawkins.

But Curzon levelled on 19 minutes. They were awarded a free kick a few yards outside the area for a foul, and Jack Stobbs curled the ball over the wall and into the top left corner.

Curzon then came more into the game, and Scott Barrow made a superb challenge on Stobbs, who had broken away on the end of a Spencer through ball.

Quakers had a half chance when Paddy McLaughlin crossed deep to the far post, but Aidan Rutledge couldn’t get his effort on target, and then Lennon created space in the box and set up Rutledge, whose effort was saved by Hawkins.

They were back again when Rutledge was denied by Hawkins in the air to a left wing cross, and the keeper recovered quickly to save a low shot by Max Howells at the expense of a corner.

Half time 1-1

Curzon took the lead after 47 minutes. Sub Alex Curran picked the ball up on the left, hit a left foot shot that beat Jameson, but bounced back into the net off the covering Barrow.

It was nearly 3-1 when Spencer found Stobbs on the right, and he played the ball back into the middle for Curran to go one-on-one against Jameson, who managed to save at his feet.

Quakers though created a half chance when Lennon crossed to the far post, but Howells couldn’t get his volley on target.

Quakers made a sub on 54 minutes, Toby Lees, who picked up a knock in the first half, coming off for Ellis Stanton.

They equalised on 56 minutes, with Stanton playing a part. He played a good crossfield pass to the left for Lennon to sidestep a defender, run inside unchallenged, and hit a low right foot shot past the stranded keeper.

But Quakers had to be alert at the other end when Curran broke through again, but his lack of control allowed Platt to get back and put in a good tackle.

They made their second sub on 65 minutes, Matty Cornish coming on for Howells, and he nearly put Quakers in front. Main picked him out with a good cross a few yards out, and he was just about to get a shot in when a defender intercepted.

Curzon went back on the attack, and went 3-2 up on 76 minutes when Charlie Weston hoisted the ball into the box for Tony Weston to volley right footed into the bottom corner past Jameson.

However, Quakers were level on 80 minutes when McGowan received a pass from Stanton in the Curzon area, took a touch, and beat Hawkins with a left foot shot.

Rutledge nearly won it, when he picked the ball up 20 yards out and curled a right foot shot just wide, but Rodwell-Grant also had a late chance which Jameson pushed around the post.
