BROMSGROVE Rovers were unlucky not to come away with all three Dr Martens Lea-gue Western Division points in a spirited 2-2 draw at Glouc-ester City.

But after Cinderford pulled off a 2-0 win at Cirencester last night, Rovers' point may not be enough as they now have to win their remaining two matches to stand any chance of staying up.

On 20 minutes Ally Hines hit the ball downfield, Karl Bayliss flicked on and Jimmy Cox ran past the Rovers defenders, rounded Olden and put the ball into an empty net.

In the 29th minute Hackett swung over a free kick which Matt Parnell cleared from under his own bar. Hackett flighted the corner into the near post and Tommmy Call-inan headed into his own net for the equaliser.

On 70 minutes, the Greens pressure finally paid off when Bridgewater put over a corner which was met by Xiouro-uppa's bullet header past Hines.

Gloucester made a double substitution in the 75th minute which got them back into the game. Cox ran through and slid the ball under the advancing Olden to grab the equaliser.

Bromsgrove: Olden 7, Watson 7 (McFalarlane, 89), Hughes 7, Town-send 7, Frost 7, Yates 8, Bridge-water 7, Lloyd 7, Xiourouppa 7, Banner 7, Hackett 7. Subs (not used): Turpin, Sumnall.
