Desborough picked up another valuable point in their battle for top flight survival.

Recent signing Tom Mills gave Ar Tarn the lead eighteen minutes in  from a long range free kick.

The contest turned the Tigers' way late in the first half.

Ben Brown levelled on 42 minutes after Liam Nimmo's shot rebounded from the crossbar with Nimmo firing Holbeach in front from goalkeeper Leigh Overton's long clearance two minutes later.

The second half goal action all came in the space of four minutes.

Dan Kitching hauled Desborough level two minutes past the hour.

Holbeach went back in front after 65 minutes, Mitch Griffiths the marksman from a Dan Flack cross.

Ar Tarn responded with a 66th minute equaliser, a headed own goal from a free kick by Tigers defender Jamie Stevens, his second in successive games.
