Godolphin Atlantic 2, Camelford 2
Sixteen-year-old Jack Fairbrother scored twice for Camelford as it finished honours even in the opening Carlsberg South West Peninsula League premier division game of the season at Godolphin Way on Friday evening.
Camelford, without several first-team regulars, twice came from behind to deny Godolphin boss Tony McKellar victory in his first competitive game in charge.
McKellar's men made the perfect start when Josh Harris volleyed home Lee Paxton's cross just five minutes in.
But with 19 minutes on the clock, the Camels drew level when Fairbrother poked the ball inside Shaun Semmens' near post.
Godolphin, who finished fifth in their first premier division season, regained the lead in the 33rd minute when Phil Lowry pounced on goalkeeper Josh Colwill's error to stab the ball home from close range.
But back came Camelford, and in the 54th minute Fairbrother was on hand to tap in Ben Ringrose's cross.
The Camels could have gone on and won it as Fairbrother was denied his hat-trick by Semmens, before Dan Balsdon saw his header come back off the bar in the 87th minute.
