Halesowen's number 9 Kieren Donnelly scores dramatic late equaliser in the number 9 derby following a mad final 15 minute period at The War Memorial Ground

Kieren Donnelly's 16th and 17th goals of the season earned Russ Penn's side a dramatic point after falling a goal behind just before added time in an astonishing 2-2 spectacle.

Donnelly opened the scoring just after the half hour mark to become the first Halesowen player in 35 years to score in eight league games in succession. An opening 10 minute period of relentless pressure prior to the goal cleared the pathway for the Yeltz number 9 to profit from a failed clearance in the box from Stourbridge, to touch the ball past Ollie Taylor.

Out of nowhere and following a perfect 75 minute period from Penn's side, a bolt out of the blue came just eight minutes from the 90. Over 60% of the last 150 goals they have scored have come in the second half, so if was no surprise when Glassboys captain Joel Kettle managed to bundle the ball into the net following a long throw from Alex Worley, to earn his first league goal of the season.

A minute before the 90, Stourbridge seemed to have stolen all three points after second half substitute Ethan McLeod headed in from a corner. The script was still to be written though, as Kieren Donnelly stepped up as he has so many times this season to smash into the back of net from a tight angle after a run down the by-line to spark dramatic scenes.
