SIMON SHAW netted what could yet to be a vital injury-time equaliser as Vale Rec kept their Stranger Cup destiny in their own hands at the Corbet Field last night.

Trailing 2-1 to Railway League outfit Red Lion, midfielder Shaw’s low effort in the third minute of added time went through goalkeeper Nick Ogier and ensured a share of the spoils.

It means that Rec stay above their opponents in the table and race for semi-final qualification, but may yet need to beat North on Friday night, assuming that Red Lion see off Bels.

In the other game, Guernsey’s under-18s finished their campaign off on a high as they defeated Bels 2-1 at the Track.
