BELPER Town had to settle for a UniBond Division One South point on a ground where they rarely do well.

The Nailers, looking to arrest a run of three defeats on the trot, scored the early goal they needed when Luke Fedorenko's dipping shot beat Nick Jupp after eight minutes.

But the lead lasted only two minutes, as Shepshed equalised when Luke Barlone hit an unstoppable volley past Adam Ogden from 18 yards.

Fedorenko forced Jupp into a diving save with another good effort after 25 minutes and Lee Stevenson headed wide just before the break.

The Dynamo keeper denied Stevenson from a close-range header at the start of the second half.

Fedorenko went close with a 73rd minute free kick and Tom Naylor could have won it for Belper in the final moments but fired a good opportunity over the bar.
