Halifax finally scored a deserved equaliser after a short corner from Parker fell to Louise Evans, who with the help of a deflection managed to get the ball past the Lindum keeper.

The home side had several chances in the closing stages and were unlucky not to take all three points, player of the match Barker having kept them in the game earlier.

Halifax face a crunch match away to unbeaten champions elect Boston Spa on Saturday.
