Redman rescues Peterhead but Ayr stay top of the pile
James Redman's 87th-minute header rescued Peterhead a 1-1 draw at Ayr in Ladbrokes Scottish League One.
Ayr's Jordan Preston squandered the home side's first chance inside 12 minutes, firing over the crossbar before team-mate Jordan Preston forced Peterhead goalkeeper Graeme Smith into making a reaction save.
Peterhead's Shane Sutherland then failed to find the back of the net when well placed before the hosts quickly countered, with Smith alert to deny Craig Moore.
Ayr's Nicky Devlin glanced a header wide before the break and the defender made a vital block at the other end to stop Sutherland's effort.
But Devlin broke the deadlock for Ayr in the 55th minute when he headed home Brian Gilmour's corner.
Peterhead's Leighton McIntosh went close before Redman's equaliser came three minutes from time, as he rose highest to head home Kevin Dzierzawski's corner.
Gilmour could have grabbed a winner for the league leaders, but Peterhead saw out the point at Somerset Park.
