A 91st minute goal from Fraser Blake-Tracy gave Kings Lynn Town victory, in a game that had looked like being a goalless draw throughout the whole 90 minutes.
Chances were few and far between, as both teams cancelled each other out for large chunks of the game, with defences remaining on top throughout.
The first half was a largely forgettable affair with the only chance falling to Josh Castiglione who saw his close range header well saved by away goalkeeper Alexander Street after an accurate cross from Sam Corcoran.
The second half followed the pattern of the first half, with little goalmouth action to keep the crowd entertained. The introduction of James Potton for Royston in the 76th minute almost paid an immediate dividend, as he combined well with Corcoran, who prodded his shot wide, when he really should have hit the target.
With the game petering out to a draw, good work from substitute Ryan Hawkins down the right hand flank, saw him produce a low cross that was turned in at the back post by full back Blake-Tracey, to steal the three points and continue The Linnets push for a play-off place.
