A non-league team dubbed "the worst in the country" have ended a 26-game losing streak.

New Mills, who play in the eighth-tier Northern Premier League Division One North, had lost all of their league and cup games this season.

But on Tuesday night the Derbyshire club drew 2-2 with Witton Albion to earn their first point of the campaign.

"I just hope it can be a springboard for the rest of the season," said manager Garry Brown.

In front of a crowd of 218 at Witton Albion's Wincham Park in Northwich, New Mills twice led through Darryl Mason.

But goals from Danny Andrews and Rob Hopley earned the home side a draw as the Millers earned a point for the first time since 11 April, 2015.

"We have got rid of that duck," Brown, the club's fourth manager since June, told 91Èȱ¬ Sport.

"The 'worst team in England' tag had driven me. I know we are not and I think we can still surprise a few people this season. New Mills is no longer a place to get easy points.

"It was a fantastic performance and just what the lads deserve."
