A crowd of 1,107 – Fareham’s record home attendance for a Wessex fixture – watched the hosts twice level in an entertaining affair at Cams Alders.
Brett Pitman, with his 40th league goal of the season, and Harrison Brook twice put the table-topping Royals ahead.
But Josh Benfield and Tom Settle (penalty) twice equalised in front of the Wessex League’s third four-figure attendance of the season.
Portchester attracted a league record 1,598 for Fareham’s visit in early January while 1,012 watched the Royals draw 3-3 against Moneyfields at Westleigh Park shortly after Christmas.
