KARL Noon’s equaliser earned for Witton Albion a draw that keeps them top of the table on goal difference.
It was probably the right result too.
Carl Macauley’s men fell behind after little more than a minute, when Romulus captain Mark Branch found the net.
They responded though, and Rob Hopley’s attempt was smuggled clear shortly afterwards.
Skipper Anthony Gardner fired narrowly wide for the visitors before Noon restored parity in first-half stoppage time, his second goal of the campaign since a summer switch from Burscough.
And he went close to doubling his tally for the afternoon on the hour, but neither side could conjure a goal to extend a winning sequence to five matches.
Spalding, who squeezed past Loughborough Dynamo thanks to Cenk Acar’s late strike, sit second in the Northern Premier League’s Division One South after five matches.
