Simon Jones tapped home Wilburton's equaliser after a mistake by the visiting goalkeeper, and Will Ludbrooke burst through to make it 2-1.

Mel Pryer beat two defenders before rifling home to restore Wilburton's advantage, only for Burwell to equalise again with what proved to be the last kick of the game.
