A battling performance away at Ruskin Park got Vagabonds a losing bonus point which could have been much more.
They trailed 8-3 at half-time with Jonny Beckley’s penalty keeping them in touch.
Two more Beckley penalties in the second half saw them 9-8 ahead with just a few minutes to go, before Park snatched them game with a penalty of their own.
