Guernsey FC Women maintained their unbeaten start to life in English league football with a 1-1 draw at home to league leaders AFC Stoneham.
The visitors had won their first three games in Southern Region Women's Football League Division One South before their trip to Victoria Park on Sunday.
But they found themselves behind in the fourth minute as Guernsey's top scorer Calleigh Hedley struck for the 12th time in five games, lobbing the goalkeeper after Aimee Ogier's ball over the top.
Hedley almost doubled the lead 14 minutes later but her effort crashed off the post, before Guernsey goalkeeper Alana Hockey made vital saves either side of half-time.
However, she could do nothing to stop Stoneham's top scorer Mia House shortly after the hour mark as the striker's hooked shot towards goal beat her.
Guernsey preserved their point thanks to a last-minute goal-line clearance from Scarlett Kenneally.
The draw puts Guernsey, who are sixth on goal difference, on nine points from five games.
Stoneham remain at the top of a crowded table a point above them - the top seven sides in the 11-team league are all separated by just one point.
