Late equaliser denies Clymping vital win over TD Shipley
Clymping failed to pull off victory in front of the film cameras as their match was being filmed by American documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock for his new documentary to be aired on Sky Atlantic in April.
The Super Size Me director and star spent both Friday and Saturday at the club and was on the sidelines helping out in their 1-1 draw.

Hide AdClymping secretary Gavin Weller felt his side should have won, and was frustrated at their failure to see out the game. He said: “A points, a point, when you’re down at the bottom you need everything you can get, but it feels like a loss and we should have put the game to bed.
“We had our chances but didn’t take them, it’s mixed emotions as we deserved the win but sat back and let them back in, which was frustrating.”
John Lawson hit the post, Steve Webb had a shot saved from 20 yards and Adam Churcher went close before Webb curled Clymping in front after the break.
Adrian Brockhurst fired wide and Webb was off target, but just when it appeared as though Clymping would hang on, a ball to the back post was smashed in by a Shipley striker to salvage a point.

Hide AdWeller added: “It’s two points dropped, we bossed the game, they didn’t threaten so to not win the game was hugely disappointing.”
