King’s Lynn Town saw victory slip from their grasp in their National League North game at Alfreton on Saturday.

Reece Hall-Johnson gave James Rowe’s side a late lead in an uninspiring encounter at the Impact Arena, only for their Derbyshire hosts to level through Billy Fewster in the first minute of stoppage time.

The draw leaves the Linnets eighth in the league standings with 12 points from their opening eight fixtures.

It was the first of three away games for Lynn, who have an FA Cup tie at Chesham next Saturday and then a league trip to Marine on September 20.

Depending on how they fare in Buckinghamshire, Lynn could potentially be without a game at the Docherty Walks Stadium until Saturday, October 4, when they host Scarborough Athletic.
