Stotfold deservedly shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Deeping Rangers.
Jason Blackett went close to giving Jim Benton's men the lead after 18 minutes when he forced a good save from keeper Dan Bircham.
Blackett also threatened to break the deadlock seven minutes before the break when he was wide following a good turn and strike from outside the box.
Deeping nearly went ahead three minutes into the new half when Ross Nicholls shot against the post.
But he was not to be denied on the hour mark as his left-footed shot curled into the corner.
