ANDY Kinsey’s second half leveller – his first goal for the club – made sure Witton’s unbeaten start to the league season continued.

The former Nantwich Town front man’s timing was perfect as he met debutant Paul Harrison’s centre six minutes after the interval.

Albion had chances to win after that.

Manager Paul Ogden threw on fit-again Carl Frost and his arrival swung the momentum of the match in the home side’s favour.

First Matthew Holt headed over Josh Hancock’s corner.

Next Kinsey’s effort from Dave MacPherson’s free kick was cleared as far as Holt, and this time his looping header clipped the crossbar.

MacPherson then found Holt on the overlap and Town keeper Paul Pritchard parried Kinsey’s attempt from the full back’s centre.

Frost shot weakly when well-placed before Pritchard thwarted Hancock and then the substitute again in quick succession to maintain parity.

Albion had made the running in opening stages of the first half too when midfielder Peter Heler twice went close in the first ten minutes.

But Joey Dunn’s men hit the net against the run of play on the half hour.

Town countered quickly when an Albion attack broke down, Gavin Salmon teeing up former Witton forward Tom Rutter for a shot that squirmed past Matt Cooper following a deflection off Ben Harrison.

At the other end Pritchard used his foot to block Kinsey’s free kick.

Another face familiar to Witton fans, Tony Evans, skewed a shot past the upright on the stroke of half time, then Paul Harrison supplied a pass from which Hancock failed to hit the target.

Heler’s burst down the centre of the field at the start of the second half ended with a shot that flew over.

Kinsey equalised soon afterwards but the hosts could not conjure up a winner despite their dominance.
