For the second consecutive week, games at Gynsill Lane were postponed due to waterlogged pitches. However at Ellis Park, the under 12 9v9 game went ahead as they took on third placed Hinckley United Knitters.
Inside the opening five minutes the visitors took the lead. A through ball from midfield found striker number 11 who cooly finished, finding the bottom right corner after being put through one-on-one.
Glenfield gradually grew back into the game as the rain began to get heavier and equalised before half time through Harry Windle. The speedy winger ran with the ball down the right and into the box before shooting off the underside of the bar and in via a touch from a helpless Hinckley defender.
A minute after half time, Glenfield took the lead. A throw in from the left found Kyle Belcher who turned and shot from the edge of the box and saw his shot sneak in through the 'keepers hands with the wet conditions playing their part.
But just as soon as Glenfield went ahead, they were pegged back as the referee awarded a penalty. Number 11 stepped up and found the bottom left corner, sending Morgan Fenton the wrong way.
Both teams pushed for a winner but it proved elusive, with both teams having to settle for a point. Glenfield remain fifth in the table with 15 points and five games left to play. They welcome eighth placed Cosby United to Ellis Park on Sunday.
The only other Glenfield United team in action were the under 11 9v9 team as they travelled to Beaumont Town but lost 5-1. They play their final home game of the season this weekend, hosting Quorn before travelling to Wigston on the last day.
