Keen to avoid settling for just a single losing bonus point, the Islanders twice faced worrying deficits in the third quarter, but they pulled level in the final period and returned from Hinckley with three extra league points to their name following a 36-36 draw.
The gap up to third-from-bottom Billericay now stands at just three points, after the Essex club were beaten by Cumberland. Only the bottom two in the nine-team PL3 will attend the relegation play-offs at the end of the season.
Josie Le Masurier was named Jets’ player of the match.
