Barnet slipped to second spot in the National League after being held to a draw by Halifax at The Hive.

Billy Waters turned in Jamie Cooke's 11th-minute cross for his fifth goal of the season to give the Yorkshire visitors a shock lead.

Barnet levelled after 24 minutes through Mark Shelton's shot from outside the box, which goalkeeper Sam Johnson was unable to stop.

Shelton saw another first-half effort cleared off the line, while Florent Hoti went close for Halifax late on with a free-kick that skimmed the crossbar.

York's 3-0 home victory over Southend took them above Barnet and into top spot on goal difference.
