Harry Archer was forced to make a few saves in the Washington goal, and made a world class save to deny Crook's Corey Nicholson.

Washy kept pushing though, and doubled their lead as the dangerous Brad Chisholm found Ethan Barella, who stroked the ball home from close range on the brink of half time.

They continued to pile on the pressure and levelled the game soon after, as Jamie Tumilty converted for the visitors.
