However, the game against Worksop Town got off to the worst start possible, falling a goal behind straight from the kick off when a cross from the left was allowed to travel to the back post for the unmarked forward to gratefully convert.

The goal rocked Steels and it took them a while to get into the game, but the half finally settled down and they started to put a few passes together without really threatening former Steels keeper Reay in the away goal.

The start of the second half was much better for Steels and they started to test the away defence.

Josh Nodder equalised for Steels when his dangerous ball into the box went in off the far post. By now the game could have gone either way, with both sides going close.

But when Worksop regained the lead on 81 minutes, it looked like Steels might miss out on any points.

But this season, Steels have got stronger as the games have gone on and their never say die attitude kicked in.

They were rewarded for their pressure when Reece Fielding converted a corner in the last minute to gain a point.

Overall a fair result and the draw keeps Steels in touch with the clubs in the top three. On Saturday they travel to take on second placed Ilkeston, followed the week after with a home game against top club Carlton FC.

The winner of Steels 500 draw for October was Mr C. Lowry.
