WORCESTER City completed their pre-season friendlies with a tough 1-1 draw at Rushall Olympic.
Carl Heeley’s side, who kick off their Skrill North campaign against Altrincham on Saturday, were behind at half-time due to Liam Spink’s penalty just before the half-hour mark.
But City levelled on 52 minutes when Aaron Williams’ cross was turned into his own net by Rushall’s Jimmy Turner.
Northern League outfit Rushall’s goal arrived after keeper Deale Chamberlain, a former Liverpool youngster, brought down experienced ex-Birmingham City forward Dele Adebola.
Williams tested Rushall custodian Lewis Solley in a physical encounter, while summer signing Elliot Turner was substituted after taking a blow to the eye.
City: Chamberlain; Turner, Hutchinson, Munday, Deeney; Hubbins, Thorley, Sammons, A Williams; Nti, Glover. Subs: D Williams, Flanagan, Nelson, Walker, Sargeant.
