Kyle Jordan put the Tigers in front on five minutes before Jason Bradley levelled for the hosts late in the opening period, Steve Woolley restored the away side's advantage with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining but Adam Lee then struck to ensure it was honours even.

And, there were defeats for third-placed Barton Town Old Boys and fourth-placed Handsworth Parramore as they both missed out on a chance of cutting the gap to the Brewers to just one point.
