Aberdour Shinty Club's first team were denied a remarkable comeback win late on in an eight-goal thriller with the league leaders on Saturday.
Ardnamurchan, who had won all-but-one of their previous seven Mowi South Division One fixtures, visited Silver Sands and left with a share of the spoils.
The home side had won three and drawn two of their six matches going into the encounter, and narrowly lost April's reverse clash, conceding the decisive goal with two minutes to go.
'Dour went into the game having been knocked out of the Macaulay Cup quarter-final by Premiership side, Kyles Athletic, who had to fight back to make it into the last four.
This time, it was the West Fifers who embarked on a recovery mission, after finding themselves three goals behind after 19 minutes.
Sean MacLellan struck first for the visitors within two minutes, before a quick-fire Alan Palmer double put them further ahead.
However, a penalty from Ciaran Burns brought Aberdour back into proceedings before the break, and Ruaridh Drake-Reid reduced the deficit to one early in the second half.
David MacDougall then pulled the home side level before, remarkably, Drake-Reid scored his second, with five minutes to go, to put them in front.
However, 60 seconds later, Stuart MacLennan replied for Ardnamurchan, who went home with a point after an exciting game.
They remain top, with 13 points from eight matches, whilst Aberdour, who are scheduled to travel to Inveraray on Saturday, sit four points behind in third, having played a game fewer.
In South Division Two, Aberdour's second team endured a tough afternoon in their game at Strachur-Dunoon.
They headed west having lost their three previous league games, and a Bullough Cup tie, and were defeated by their promotion chasing opponents.
The hosts, second in the standings, were two goals up at the interval, before scoring another five without reply in the second half, securing a comfortable victory.
'Dour, who are due to host Stirling at Silver Sands, with a 1.30pm start, on Saturday, are sixth in the table.
Meanwhile, Aberdour's ladies, who were 14-2 winners at Strathglass in their previous outing, with Katie Booth netting six of them, were out of action on Sunday.
They had been due to host Strathspey, but the game was cancelled, as the visitors couldn't raise a team.
