Neil Gibson's side, unbeaten at home this season and having won seven straight games, fell behind after 10 minutes through on-loan Liverpool youngster Fidel O'Rourke with Joe Faux and Lloyd Marsh-Hughes extending the lead in the second half.
Ben Nash and Joe Malkin's goal set up a grandstand finish at Deeside Stadium and the home side's endeavours were rewarded when Malkin scored his second following a goalmouth scramble for Nomads' equaliser deep in stoppage time.
Aberystwyth Town 2-1 Pontypridd United: Jonathan Evans' two goals saw Aberystwyth secure a fifth successive home win and avenge a 2-1 at Pontypridd earlier in the season.
