No separating mid-table rivals at Moss Rose
Notts County midfielder Matty Hamshaw earned his side a precious point in a 1-1 draw at mid-table rivals Macclesfield.
Veteran striker Simon Yeo should have given the Silkmen the lead after 17 minutes only to send a pinpoint cross from Izak Reid inches over the bar with an eight-yard header.
However, he made amends after 26 minutes when he pounced on a deflected clearance to slot home his first goal since 21st October with a neat left-foot conversion.
On-loan youngster Tom Elliott should have extended Macc's lead after 56 minutes but could only force a competent save from Kevin Pilkington with a firm downward header after rising above the defence to meet a James Jennings cross.
Jamie Clapham was unlucky for County in the 68th minute when he powered a free-kick off the crossbar.
But they got their just desserts five minutes later when Myles Weston produced a clinical cross for Hamshaw to volley past the stranded Jon Brain.
Macclesfield nearly stole all the points in injury time when youngster Gareth Evans crashed a shot off the angle.
