Dunkley is the hero as Seasiders rescue a point at Wisbech

6:27am Sunday 26th February 2012 in Sport By Matt Plummer

James Dunkley was on target as FC Clacton followed up their midweek win against CRC with a battling 1-1 draw at Wisbech.

The Seasiders fell behind midway through the second half during Saturday's Ridgeons League premier division contest in Cambridgeshire.

But the setback spurred them into life and Dunkley fired home from just outside the box to rescue a point.

Skipper Kevin Coyle earlier had a shot brilliantly saved, while both teams had penalty appeals waved away.

The match was watched by a bumper crowd of 234.

Elsewhere, in Ridgeons League division one, Brightlingsea Regent slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Ipswich Wanderers.
