Max Kilsby helped Annan Athletic to a well-earned point on the road – while Kai Nugent was also in the squad for the first time.

Carlisle United defender Kilsby got his latest start and played the full game as Annan fought back at Kelty Hearts.

The 19-year-old, on his sixth appearance since rejoining the Galabankies, saw Annan go behind in the 62nd minute before Aidan Smith struck to earn a 1-1 draw.

The goals followed a first-half penalty save by Annan’s ex-Carlisle keeper Greg Fleming as Peter Murphy’s side picked up their fourth point of the Scottish League One campaign.

Nugent was an unused substitute as he was involved in Murphy’s squad the day after his loan move from Brunton Park.

It is League Cup action for the Blues duo and Annan next weekend when they host Peterhead.
