Charlie Higgins' penalty secured a point away at Droylsden as FC Isle of Man continued our unbeaten start to the NWCFL Premier Division season.
Trailing 1-0 at the break, Higgins was tripped midway through the second half before dusting himself down and scoring from the spot.
The home side started brighter and could have been ahead early on as Cody Artwell headed goalwards, only for Callum Sherry to head the ball up and over the bar.
Droylsden would however take the lead soon after as they broke from a Ravens corner and Nellson Van found the bottom corner after good play from Ivanilson Da Silva and Artwell.
Despite plenty of effort from both sides, chances were to be few and far between in the remainder of the first half, with Kyle Watson coming closest as his effort went wide following good work to win the ball high by Freddie O’Donoghue.
In the second half, the Ravens began to push and prod more for an equaliser and were quickly rewarded for our efforts as Jimmy Lowther tormented the Droylsden back line.
He first burst into the box but saw his effort stopped before a second burst saw him try to pick out Higgins. The Ramsey man got there just ahead of his defender, was tripped and referee Jack Vase had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
Stepping up to take it himself, Higgins went to Jordan Latham's right as he went left to level the game.
With both teams' defensive units standing firm, chances were at a premium in the rest of the half, with Adam Killey and Latham playing their part in keeping the scores level when called upon.
Despite a late chance to win it from Higgins being saved by Latham, the Ravens fans were happy with the point which continues our unbeaten start and puts up top of the NWCFL Premier Division after four games.
