Kingstonian were on top for part of the second half with Alfie Doughty managing to get into a number of dangerous positions and supplied some good balls into the box for the visitors. Josh James was forced into good save from a header.
The momentum then shifted to the home side and Tariq Richards hit a thunderbolt of a shot from distance which went wide of the post.
But just as it looked like the points would be shared, Elliott Buchanan finished off a smart move for Kingstonian with five minutes remaining on the clock.
