HARROGATE Town dropped more precious Conference North play-off points as Redditch United came from behind twice to force a 2-2 draw at Wetherby Road.

Boss Neil Aspin was disappointed his side twice conceded the lead. Although still in third place, they have now slipped six points behind leaders Kettering.

Town were ahead after just nine minutes when Danny Holland netted his 25th goal of the season with a spectacular overhead kick.

Redditch levelled on 26 minutes when Richard Ball toe-poked home but, just before half-time, Harrogate were in front again when Chris Bettney fired a shot which bounced in front of Redditch 'keeper Richard Anstiss and nestled in the net.

Holland missed a chance to extend the lead 18 minutes into the second half - firing a one-on-one opening straight at Anstiss.

Redditch made the home side pay when, just a minute later, substitute Robert Taylor hit a 30-yard screamer in the top corner.
