BOTH sides were desperate for win but had to settle for a point as Craig Hutchinson grabbed a late equaliser for Nomads.
Porthmadog twice let their advantage slip and stay perilously close to the danger zone, while it was only Quay's second point of the season.
Carl Owen opened the home account when firing home from a Rhys Roberts pass, but Port spurned several chances to put the game to bed.
Owen missed a good headed chance while Paul Smith did well to save with his feet from Gareth Parry.
Phil Molyneux punished the home side just after the hour mark with a 20-yarder that gave keeper Richard Harvey no chance.
Port were soon back in front when Rhys Roberts scored from close range after a Mike Foster free kick, but when after Jon Kenworthy had struck the post for the visitors, Hutchinson unleashed another unstoppable shot from wide on the right.
