In reply Sandridge lost opener Adam Temple (11) early on but then a 100 run partnership between Dave Camm (41) and Ian Merryfield (70) put Sandrige back on track.
Merryfield's innings included 12 fours and two sixes and was one of the best innings seen down at The Ridge for many years.
Once again the middle order failed to capitalise on a great start and despite some lusty blows towards the end, the sides had to settle for a draw as Sandridge finished just short on 209-9.
