Rushall Olympic drop points as their survival bid takes another blow

Kidderminster Harriers loanee Seb Thompson marked his debut by opening the scoring after 18 minutes. Thompson, who had hit the post inside the first three minutes, towered above his marker to meet Danny King's cross with a clinical header. 

Jessy Bavanganga had a goal ruled out for offside but Radcliffe got back on level terms just past the half-hour mark when Jordan Hulme was on hand to convert Anthony Dudley's low cross. 

Radcliffe wide man George Glendon cut inside and clipped the crossbar but the visitors were reduced to 10-men when Josh Hancock was sent off for a raised elbow on Rushall goalkeeper Paul White. 

The Pics have gone eight matches without a win in the National League North to leave them second from bottom. 

Halesowen Town moved six points clear in the final play-off place after winning 1-0 at Biggleswade Town. 

Alex Cameron marked his emergence from the bench by scoring his first goal for Halesowen with a dramatic 89th-minute winner. 

Conor Tee struck the post during the first half and McKauley Manning saw an effort cleared off the line. 

But Halesowen registered their first away win since December 14 to create a six-point gap over Stamford in sixth spot.

Stourbridge dropped to 11th in the Southern Central after falling to a third successive defeat. 

James Clifton scored after being played through on goal by Samuel Cartwright in the 67th-minute to guide Spalding United to a 1-0 win at the War Memorial Athletic Ground. 

Ethan Freemantle and Joel Kettle had headers cleared off the line but the Glassboys were unable to find an equaliser as they fell 12 points adrift of the play-off spots.

Stourbridge boss Liam McDonald said: "Disappointed. The game was hinged on a moment, a bad decision from a player which has resulted in the back of our net. 

"They've had one shot and at this moment in time, we seem to be on the wrong end of that wrong shot. Everything is hurting us at the minute but whatever doesn't kill you, make you stronger. 

"As much as we don't want to be a midtable team, the reality is that we are at this moment in time. We have been as a club or just below midtable for a long time so it's just steps and I think everyone has to be patient."
