Dulwich missed the chance to extend their lead over big-spending Billericay when Jonny Henly's late save salvaged a point for Tonbridge.
This was a game for the purist and Dulwich may have done enough to win, Tonbridge never gave up and grew into the game.
Angels supremo Steve McKimm was the happier of the two bosses.
He told The NLP: "We set ourselves up to deal with their attack and largely we achieved that. Jonny Henly made a great save near the end to keep us in it but we were pressing even after that."
Hamlet manager Gavin Rose considered it two points dropped: "I was a bit disappointed with the goal we conceded and I thought overall we had enough about us to win. Full credit to Tonbridge, they kept going and nicked a point."
The visitors just about shaded the first half although genuine chances were at a premium.
On six minutes, Hamlet's Nana Boakye-Yiadom forced Angels keeper Henly into a smart block.
And three minutes later following a mis-kick by Hamlet custodian Preston Edwards, Turner's first time shot was blocked by Ricky Hayles.
Dulwich started to put in some telling crosses but the Angels defence cleared everything that came their way with Henly and Miles particularly dominant.
on 36 minutes, Tonbridge's Dan Bennett got behind the Dulwich defence with a good run down the right but his cross couldn't quite reach a blue shirt.
The second half was two minutes old when the visitors took the lead with a fine solo effort.
Nyren Clunis set off on a strong run down the left, cut inside and beat Henly with a super shot into the corner of the goal.
Boakye-Yiadom came close moments later but Henly blocked and Sanchez Ming had another chance for the visitors.
Tonbridge were still very much in it. Chris Kinnear's shot was blocked on the line by a Dulwich defender.
And as if to prove their new found confidence, a brilliant pass from Craig stone out to the left winger Turner, put the midfielder in on goal.
Edwards rushed out but the ball spun from Turner's boot into the empty net.
Both teams went for the winner with Dulwich having the majority of chances.
And the big moment came in the 8th minute when Henly made a fantastic save from Boakye-Yiadom to ensure that the honours remained even.

On Tuesday our long-serving goalscorer bagged the headline the 'South London Press':

Clunis's goal was heaven sent in tight draw with Angels

A stunning strike by Nyren Clunis was not enough to secure victory as Dulwich Hamlet were held to a 1-1 draw at Tonbridge Angels.
Clunis collected the ball 40 yards out and cut inside before rifling into the corner to put the Bostik League Premier Division leaders ahead.
However, Joe Turner's equaliser for the home side midway through the second half meant Dulwich had to settle for a point.

Yesterday the last 'Southwark News' of 2017 reported on ourselves finally being overhauled by Billericay Town:

Hamlet knocked off perch

Dulwich Hamlet have lost top spot in the Bostik League Premier Division table, after their 1-1 draw at Tonbridge Angels last weekend and Billericay's 3-0 win over Met Police on Tuesday.
Hamlet looked like they had done enough to claim three vital points, after Nyren Clunis' superb run and shot gave them the lead early in the second half.
Nana Boakye-Yiadom and Sanchez Ming then had chances to double the lead, but couldn't find the target.
And the hosts got back on level terms when Craig Stone picked out Joe Turner to put the midfielder through on goal, and he beat visiting stopper Preston Edwards.
Hamlet had the chance to win it four minutes from time, but goalkeeper Jonny henly made a superb block to deny Boakye-Yiadom.
Dulwich boss Gavin Rose felt his side should have hung on to win. "I was a bit disappointed with the goal we conceded and I thought overall we had enough about us to win the game. Full credit to Tonbridge, they've kept going and nicked a point."
Dulwich and Billericay are level on points at the top of the table, but the Essex club have a plus-fourtenn-goal difference.
Hamlet play Leiston at Champion Hill on Saturday, followed by a trip to Tooting & Micham on Boxing Day.

There was no non-league coverage at all in today's 'South London Press', with their reporters for our level seemingly taking an early start to their Christmas festivities & knocking off early!
