RYAN Havard came off the bench to earn Taunton Town a 1-1 draw away to Thatcham Town in Division One (S&W) of the British Gas Business League on Saturday.
It means the Peacocks have taken seven points from their last nine after back-to-back victories.
The hosts, who are above Taunton in the table on goal difference, took the lead after half an hour when visitors' defender Dave Anthony was penalised for handball in the area and Sam Rea scored from the spot.

Just after the break, Shaun Anthony went close to equalising for Taunton when home keeper Paul Strudley was forced into a fine save.
However, Strudley was shown a straight red card with ten minutes left after handling outside his area. And, just five minutes later, Havard, on his return after suspension, sent a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
Taunton almost nicked all three points late on but Alex Faux was denied.
Taunton end the season this Saturday when they entertain Bracknell Town, who will need a win to be certain of avoiding relegation.
