Aaron Nemane scored a first-half equaliser to ensure Stuart Maynard earned a point in his first game as Notts County manager as they claimed a 1-1 League Two draw at home to Barrow.
Kian Spence had given the visitors the lead early on, before Nemane levelled just before half-time on his 100th appearance for the club.
County goalkeeper Aidan Stone was called into action twice in quick succession as he denied Sam Foley's shot with a fine save before tipping Cole Stockton's effort over the crossbar.
But Barrow took the lead when Dom Telford's deflected shot fell kindly into the path of Spence to head home.
However, the Magpies levelled the game shortly before half-time - Jodi Jones equalling the record for the most assists in a League Two season by teeing up Nemane at the back post.
The hosts continued to dominate, but almost fell behind again when Spence's effort flew over the crossbar - Dan Crowley prodding an effort wide moments later.
Maynard was within inches of a victory during his first game but Jones' teasing delivery was put over by top scorer Macaulay Langstaff.
