United recovered from being 3-1 down at half time to share the points, after taking the lead through Callum Samuel-Harman following Newbury hitting a penalty off the cross bar that went out of play. United twice thought they had extended the lead, first when a ball was cleared from inside the Newbury goal and Marvin Hinds seeing his shot disallowed for off side.
Three goals in the last fifteen minutes of the half saw the visitors take a two goal lead into the break.
Two changes were made at half time with Chris Burt and Morgan Tilley replacing Luke Blakebrough and Harrison Moore. Samuel-Harman reduced the arrears two minutes after the restart and Jake White volley home from a cleared corner with twenty nine minutes remaining to level the game.
Despite no more goals, Samuel-Harman put an effort wide while White shot at keeper when one on one, while a header cleared off the United goal line prevented Newbury from scoring.
