Tilbury gave Ryman Division One North promotion-chasing Hemel a scare before surrendering the points to their hosts.

Hemel took a 56th minute lead through Bryan Hammett's header, but the Dockers levelled through a 20-yard effort from Steve Jones.

Tilbury had defender John Ray sent off after he brought down Richard McDonagh in the box after 72 minutes and Hammett scored the resultant penalty.

Daniel West grabbed a third for Hemel, but plucky Tilbury grabbed a second through Jean-Marie Okita.
