Injury-hit Workington dropped points for the second game in succession but are still unbeaten, and still lead NPL West.
They were held 1-1 by visitors Leek Town and were still short of six senior players, despite having Brad Carroll and Charlie Bowman back in the squad.
Leek Town became the first team to take a League point away from Borough Park in what proved to be something of a smash and grab.
The League leaders had dominated the game for long periods, yet were unable to create much against a resolute Leek defence, particularly in the second-half.
Their best moments all came in the first half when they took the lead on 30 minutes; hit the post and were denied by keeper Dan Roberts.
A Brad Hubbold corner saw Steve Rigg climb highest and his header was blocked on the line by Roberts. He couldn’t hold it and Paul Marshall hammered home from a yard out.
From another well-worked corner, this time to the near post, Brad Connell dived in but his header came back off the post.
Then Roberts saved twice in quick succession from Matty Clarke, the second a particularly sharp save at the foot of the post.
Leek, who had done all their best work in defence, scored an equaliser out of nowhere on 73 minutes.
Oliver Harrison charged forward to win the ball and when it was played through to William Saxon he scored with a low shot beyond Jim Atkinson into the bottom corner.
But on a day when manager Chris Willcock will consider it two points lost, there were more injury concerns with Carroll, Sam Smith and Marshall in the wars.
“We will have to assess everyone ahead of Tuesday’s game but I am still on the look-out for new players because of our circumstances,” said Willcock.
Reds entertain his old team Ramsbottom.
