BRIGHTLINGSEA Regent Reserves fought back from behind and grabbed a late equaliser in Saturday's exciting Thurlow Nunn League first division south contest at home to Benfleet.

The R's led at the break thanks to a cool penalty from Alex Taylor.

The visitors converted a penalty of their own in the second half to make it all-square and then nosed in front just after the hour-mark.

However, Taylor popped up with a precious equaliser five minutes from time to make it 2-2.
