Boston United earned a point on the road at Ebbsfleet United on Saturday afternoon, but were left to rue missed opportunities to secure all three.
The first half was relatively nondescript at the Kuflink Stadium, but the Pilgrims came on strongly after half-time and saw good chances go begging through the likes of Jai Rowe, Lennon Wheeldon and Pemi Aderoju.
Defender Connor Teale was handed his United debut and duly helped the Pilgrims keep their first National League clean sheet since September 7.
