BROMSGROVE Rovers twice came from behind to snatch a point in a 3-3 draw at Oldbury United in the opening match of their Midland Football Alliance campaign.

The Black Country side had stung Rovers with two early goals from Stuart Grosvenor on seven minutes and David Jackson in the 15th minute leaving the visitors two down at the break.

But second-half strikes from new signings Paul Moore on 71 minutes and Michael Moore from the penalty spot on 78 minutes restored parity.

Rovers, relegated last season, again fell behind from an Ian Cresser effort with 10 minutes to play but Steve Daniels' team refused to concede defeat and Frazer McHugh pounced for a late equaliser two minutes from time.

Bromsgrove play their first home match of the season tomorrow when they take on Stratford Town (7.45).
