A late own goal by Will Squires saw Bamber Bridge lose at Basford United in the NPL Premier Division.

Ashley Chambers’ double either side of the interval was cancelled out by a late Lucas Weaver brace.

Kacy Butter-field latched on to a long ball and unself-ishly laid the ball to Chambers, who rolled into an empty net.

On 51 minutes, it was Chambers who made it 2-0 with a well-placed header from Prince Mancinelli’s cross.

Brig had a lifeline on 73 minutes when Weaver was expertly found by skipper Michael Potts before unleashing an effort past Deeney.

Ten minutes later, it was 2-2 when Weaver burst forward and fired past Deeney. However, it was heartbreak for Brig in added time when Tyler Dacres cross was turned into his own net by Squires.
