Loan watch: Owen Devonport scores a late equaliser for King's Lynn in their fight for survival

Six Fleetwood Town players were involved for their respective loan clubs over the weekend, and here is all the information you need to know in our weekly loan watch.

Starting in the National League North, Owen Devonport and George Morrison started for King’s Lynn Town in their clash against league leaders Tamworth - which was broadcast live on TNT Sports.

The Linnets’ unbeaten run has reached ten games now as they look to avoid relegation. It would be Devonport who would steal the headlines as he scored an 89th-minute equaliser to secure a point, before being substituted in the 95th minute of the game, receiving a round of applause by the supporters.

Morrison featured for the full 90 minutes and contributed to the 1-1 draw in the heart of midfield by driving the team forward, making key tackles and much more. That now sees the side 6 points clear of relegation, with an away trip to Scunthorpe on Friday.

Over to the National League, Cian Hayes started for Rochdale as they were able to get the best of Maidenhead in a 1-0 victory. However, his game ended early as he was forced off with a knock in the 54th minute.

Finlay Armstrong came onto the pitch as an 82nd-minute substitute to see out the last 18 minutes of what was a good win for Dale on home soil.

Conor Teale was back in the Arbroath starting XI against Partick Thistle at home on Saturday - who displayed some good pieces of defending. Out of the key moments, the young defender most notably came out on top in a one-on-one at the edge of the box, showcasing him putting his body on the line for the Scottish Championship side.

The 21-year-old was substituted at half-time as a precaution due to the injury that kept him out last week.

Now in the North West Counties League, Theo Butterworth made his debut for Ramsbottom United against FC Isle of Man. Butterworth played the full 90 minutes for the Rams as they failed to pick up any points. They next face Chadderton away next time out.

Sheffield FC were also in action at the weekend, however, Ben Whelan - who made the move to Yorkshire on Friday evening - was an unused sub in their draw against Grantham Town.

The trio at Waterford weren't involved at the weekend due to the international break, but are back in action on Friday against Sligo Rovers.

Finally, neither Will Johnson or Tom Donaghy were involved for their respective clubs at the weekend.
