A late penalty and a disappointing evening meant Harpenden Town ended their week with just one point.
They were 1-0 up away to Arlesey Town on Saturday with the clock already into time added on when the New Lamb Meadow hosts were awarded a penalty.
James Hatch converted it to cancel out Archie McClelland’s 65th-minute opener.
Manager Danny Plumb though was still proud of his players with the draw making it six games undefeated.
However, that run came to a shuddering half at another of the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division’s top-six teams as Biggleswade United won 4-1.

Defensive lapses meant they were 2-1 down at half-time but it wasn’t until the final 10 minutes that United pulled clear.
The results leave Harpenden in 14th position but 14 points clear of relegation.
