Corie Andrews' 99th-minute equalizer helped Wealdstone secure a 1-1 draw against Barnet in a tense derby at the Hive Stadium.
Barnet took the lead through Callum Stead in the first half but failed to capitalize on further opportunities.
The match featured a mix of spirited football and off-the-field incidents, including hooliganism from a minority of Wealdstone supporters.
This result continues Wealdstone's adjustment period under new coaching staff following Stuart Maynard's departure.
