Norwich United missed the chance to put pressure on the teams above them when they dropped two points at home to bottom of the table Great Wakering Rovers.

Despite numerous chances the Planters found themselves trailing to Jamie Guy's 65th minute header. Substitute Liam Jackson earned a point with a leveller ten minutes later.

Despite having a first minute penalty appeal turned down, the Planters were slow to settle and the visitors Jason Ring cut in but curled his effort well wide.

The hosts gradually got into the game and a Nathan Stewart shot was gathered at the second attempt by keeper Dylan Skinner.

Tim Henery found the side netting at the near post and Christy Finch and Dawid Radomski both had shots blocked as the Planters finished the first half strongly.

Henery shot wide and Finch saw his shot come back of the foot of the post before the visitors took a shock lead, Stephen Butterworth's cross giving Guy the easiest of headers.

Liam Jackson's looping header from a Matt Brown cross seemed to deceive Skinner to level matters, but the Planters were unable to force a late winner with Jackson and Finch both unable to hit the target.
