Cheltenham 1-1 Crewe

Cheltenham skipper John Finnigan notched his second goal in as many games to earn a valuable point.

Crewe opened the scoring when David Vaughan fed Luke Varney who turned his marker before firing home.

The Robins drew level when a Brian Wilson free-kick cannoned off the wall for Finnigan to power a shot into the bottom left-hand corner from 25 yards.

JJ Melligan twice came close to snatching all three points for Cheltenham with late chances.
