A hard fought draw against top of the table Poole was overshadowed by a bad injury to Winchester keeper Ryan Gosney.
While taking a goal kick, Gosney's leg appeared to twist awkwardly in the turf and was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle.
It was a sour point in a game that Winchester should be pleased with. Winchester took the lead early on in the game. Some good work down the wing by Jeff Cavey saw the ball land to Zach Glasspool, who controlled it excellently before shooting past Nic Jones. The Poole management will be baffled as to why he was allowed so much time on the ball.
Poole had few chances before half time, although a fantastic save by Gosney after 33 minutes ensured that Winchester maintained their lead going into the break.
It wasn't much later that Gosney was being carried off in a stretcher. With no reserve 'keeper on the bench, it fell to goalscorer Zach Glasspool to put on the gloves and go in goal.
It was unfortunate for Glasspool that it was his mistake that gifted Poole the equaliser. A long ball into the box was dropped by Glasspool and Stuart Gates pounced to gift a point to Poole.
