THE North Devon Magpies were convinced they should have taken all three points from this derby at Upcott Field.

Nathan Bonney took a through ball from Mitch Cisneros to fire the home side into a fifth minute lead and then repeated the dose on the stroke of half time when he volleyed home Adam Smith's left wing corner from the edge of the area.

Bonney went close to completing his hat-trick, early in the second half, but his effort came back off the crossbar only for team mate Matt Andrew's shot to hit the outside of the Bude post and stay out.

The game turned on a contentious penalty on 75 minutes when Billy Hopcroft went down easily in the area for a penalty which the same player converted.

Four minutes later it was all square as Tom Statton headed home from close range.
