The Down trailed 2-0 at half-time away to South Gloucestershire club Cadbury Heath, and then fell 3-0 behind.
The guests netted twice to give themselves a chance, but a Cadbury Heath goal from the spot meant Odd Down were staring defeat in the face at 4-2 down with 15 minutes to go.
However, substitute Matthew Hoare reduced the arrears – and James Hare, who came off the bench after 75 minutes, netted in injury-time to level matters.
Alfie Andrews and Dominic Walter hit Odd Down’s other goals.
Tyler Lane (2), Riley Gifford-Hobbs and Tom Withers (penalty) struck for Cadbury Heath.
The Down’s next match is a league encounter with Bristol club Mendip Broadwalk at Filwood Park Playing Fields on Saturday 9th August.
