A dramatic finish with two goals in the final three minutes saw Bamber Bridge snatch a late victory at basement club Radcliffe.

Alex Porter had put Brig ahead on 20 minutes but Neil Chappell equalised for the home side less than a minute later and the teams went in at the break all square following an evenly contested first-half.

Despite having the bulk of the possession after the interval, Brig went a goal down in the 68th minute.

With three minutes remaining Bamber Brideg drew level when Neil Spencer fired home an unstoppable half-volley into the far corner of the net.

Brig secured a vital three points when Porter sent in a free-kick just outside the box, and after the ball had deflected off Spencer's shoulder, Ryan Bowen got in the final touch.
