SECOND-PLACED West Wilts extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with a draw at Premier Division Three leaders Plymouth Marjon.
The visitors made the perfect start when slick passing allowed Phil Jeffreys the chance to slip in at the far post and slot past the keeper.
Wilts continued their dominance and only excellent goalkeeping kept them out.
However, the home side came back into it, taking advantage of a wayward Wilts pass to equalise with a strong strike from the top of the D.
The second half was more delicately balanced as both teams searched for openings.
The weather made flowing play difficult and it became more fractious with Marjons finding themselves down to 10 men.
Wilts began to turn the screw and it was no surprise when the pressure told and Jeffreys scored his second with 15 minutes to go from close range.
A win would have sent the Warminster side top, but Marjon showed why they will be in the mix this year and levelled with three minutes to go.
Wilts face Plymouth Uni at home tomorrow
