YM ARE rapidly becoming the division's draw specialists after they drew their fourth game in succession on Tuesday night against nine-man Southwick.In a game dominated by the referee's whistle -only three of Southwick's players were not booked, Mark Francis scored his second goal in as many matches to give YM the lead and when Southwick had Jamie and Matt Ash sent off for dissent in the second half, then the points looked there for the visitors' taking.
But it all went wrong from there and it was the hosts who managed to score next and salvage something from the game. Aaron McMillan put the ball back in the box after YM had only partially dealt with a free-kick for Terry Streeter to head home at the back post.
MARK Francis held his nerve to net a 97th minute penalty to grab YM a point against Selsey on Saturday.
The Gorings Mead side had taken the lead in the second minute when Tim Brown scored his first goal for the club. But Fewster immediately replied and Selsey looked set to leave for the south coast with the points when Leather put them in front with 66 minutes gone.
However, YM were given a lifeline which Francis grabbed with both hands.
YM can expect a tough match tomorrow when travel to fancied Chichester.
