DARREN Perrin says that his side's draw with VT FC on Saturday felt like a win after Frome Town scored twice to level the game in the final three minutes.

Mark Salter and Ricky Hulbert both netted to make the score 2-2 after Byron Mason's brace.

“We didn't play that well at all so it does feel like three points,” said Frome boss Perrin.

“I threw caution to the wind with a few changes and thankfully it worked this time.

“It's the players that deserve all the credit for digging in so well.”

Frome fell behind to two right-footed strikes from Mason, either side of half-time.

However, as the game drew to a close, Perrin's men hit back when Salter nodded in Dave Thompson's cross in the 87th minutes.

A minute later, the dramatic comeback was complete, after Jamie Cheeseman flicked a ball onto the crossbar from a corner.

Hulbert reacted quickest and nodded the ball home to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat.

Frome are still in contention for a play-off position but Perrin is keen to remind the fans of his side's achievements this season.

“Back in September, we were right down in the mire and what we've achieved this season is unbelievable,” he said.

“What we've done has changed expectations but wherever we finish is a great achievement for this football club.

“I'm not trying to play it down as we're still in with a chance of sneaking into the play-offs but we will finish where we deserve to and it will be a great accomplishment for Frome Town's first season in the Southern League.”
