"WE'RE not out of the woods yet" said Alvechurch boss Peter Frain after seeing his side pegged back at Lye Meadow.

A 15th minute penalty by Andy Dodds saw the Churchmen take the lead but Tom Pope's 31st minute equaliser put pay to the Church's hard work.

It's too close for comfort for Frain's men who are just four points above the drop zone.

Frain said: "We've got a couple of very important games coming up in Oldbury and Ludlow - if we can take three or four points out of those then we should be in a better position.

"Saturday was the story of our season in 90 minutes.

"We've gone a goal up and we were comfortable but we didn't finish them off when we had the chance and we've let them back into the game."

Paul Smith looks likely to feature for the Churchmen at the back while central midfielder Matt Hawker from Solihull has also made an impact in his last two games.
