Bath City earned a hard-fought point in their National League South clash away at Enfield Town, with a late first-half header from Alex Fisher salvaging a 1-1 draw at the Dave Bryant Stadium.
The match kicked off with an early spark when Jordan Alves unleashed a powerful 30-yard free-kick in the first minute, narrowly missing the target and catching goalkeeper Joe Wright off guard. Despite this early chance, much of Bath City’s attacking threat came from set-pieces throughout the game.
Enfield Town struck first in the 32nd minute through Nino Adom-Malaki, who seized a moment of brilliance by firing a low, precise shot into the corner from 25 yards out to put the hosts ahead. Bath City responded swiftly, leveling the score just eight minutes later. A long throw from Joe Raynes was glanced toward goal by Fisher, looping over the diving goalkeeper to bring Bath back on terms.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Raynes’ long throws continually posing a danger for Enfield. Joe Wright made several impressive saves, including a tipped effort from Fisher in the 58th minute and a crucial block from Kieran Parselle’s header shortly after.
A frantic scramble near the Bath goal in the 77th minute nearly gave Enfield a winning goal, but the visitors stood firm. In the final moments, Bath had a chance to snatch all three points when Alves won a free-kick from 25 yards out. However, his effort sailed just over the crossbar, leaving both teams to settle for a share of the points.
Meanwhile, Weston-super-Mare had no fixture this weekend and now sit seventh in the table, 13 points adrift of league leaders Dorking, with between two and four games in hand in the promotion race.
