Briggs sees positives in draw with Leek Town
Shields Gazette
|October 20, 2025
Hebburn Town new boy Robert Briggs tried to take the positives from a frustrating home draw with Northern Premier League Premier Division rivals Leek Town.
-
Ethan Wood fired the Hornets in front midway through the first half but the visitors hit back to ensure the game was level at halftime as Connor Heath found the net.
The two sides swapped goals in the early stages of the second-half with Wood doubling his tally after Alex Hurst had put the visitors in front for the first time.
Olly Martin appeared to have given Hebburn all three points when he put them in front once again two minutes from time but Louis Potts snatched a point for Leek with 96 minutes on the clock.
