SHAKERS 1, RUSHDEN & DIAMONDS 1: Matthew Tipton scored a priceless 87th-minute equaliser for Shakers in their League Two basement clash.

Wayne Hatswell's 82nd-minute free-kick looked as though it was going to secure the win for Rushden until Tipton struck three minutes from time.

Rushden's Lee Tomlin forced Bury keeper Craig Dootson to make a wonderful save, while at the other end Shakers' Brian Barry-Murphy curled a shot inches over.
