Solihull will feel hard done by walking away with nothing after dominating much of the game against fellow playoff hopefuls Willenhall Town.
On a blustery day at Damson Park, neither side really got going with keepers Tony Breedon and Dean Coleman barely having to make a save in the first 45 minutes.
On the stroke of half time, in what was the first real attempt by either side, Willenhalls Dan Harvey turned on the edge of the box and unleashed a fierce left footed shot, which struck Boro keeper, Breedons, right post.
Mickey Moores side came out looking much brighter in the second half, against a team that they overcame 2 – 0 last weekend. The breakthrough came just fifteen minutes in, when a crunching tackle by Jack Byrne released Jerome Grandison, who calmly slotted the ball home from 8 yards out.
Just two minutes later the visitors drew level, when a cross by Willenhalls Alex Gibbons, was nodded past his own keeper by Gary Moran.
Dan Harvey put the visitors ahead with just 5 minutes of normal time left to play, turning on the edge of the box and rifling his shot past a flailing Breedon.
Solihull pushed for a late equalizer to no avail, Lawrence Rawling squandering Boro’s best chance, firing his volley wide from 6 yards out.
