A Jake Lowes goal gave Alnwick the lead at Lowick, but the home team took a share of the points thanks to an equaliser from Andrew Burgon.
Acklington picked up their first win of the season thanks to two goals by Eric McKevitt and single strikes by Aaron Redpath, Wayne Robinson, Richard Lemon and Dell Sawes.
However, it was not all one way as Berwick United Reserves hit back with a Chris Falconer hat-trick and a Michael Robinson goal.
One of Northumberland's most treasured heritage gems will soon be up for grabs on the roll of a dice, on a limited edition version of Monopoly
Cragside, the home near Rothbury known as the first in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity, takes the place of yellow property Piccadilly in the new National Trust game.
Justine James, customer development manager at Cragside, said: "It's an absolute honour for Cragside to have been chosen to go on the board and we're delighted to sit alongside some of the trust's most famous properties.
"Cragside is an iconic place to visit here in the North East, celebrating the life of Lord Armstrong, and we hope that more people will be inspired to visit after playing the new version of the game."
Community paramedics in Rothbury are continuing with more formal training as well as becoming more integrated within the NHS.

Wild animals such as the beaver and the lynx could be reintroduced to the North East under Government plans to be announced today.
Environment Secretary Hilary Benn will call for a "re-wilding" of Britain at the Labour Party conference in Brighton.
The lynx (a young cub is pictured) and the beaver could be two species to benefit from the plan
Under the scheme, which is still at the review stage, large parts of the UK would be allowed to run wild in an effort to boost conservation and combat biodiversity loss.
People living in north Northumberland are being given the opportunity to have their say on future plans to protect the area from flooding.
It follows the launch of a three-month consultation exercise by Northumberland County Council, who have prepared a draft action plan.
Several areas have been affected by flooding twice in the past 12 months and residents are being urged to study the plan and give their views.
Butcher Morris Adamson is hoping to bring a national prize back to Northumberland to crown the county champion of champions in a rather special event.
The owner of Rothbury Family Butchers has been chosen by special invitation to take part in the Champion of Champions, the most prestigious sausage competition in the country. It will reveal the top sausage-maker in Britain and butchers must wait to be asked to take part in the exclusive event.
After Morris and his team won the North East regional final of British sausage week last year with their Cragside Cracker, a mixture of pork, rosemary and red onion, they will now travel to London to try to get the national award.
Northumberland is the UK's worst blackspot for deaths involving fork lift trucks, new figures have shown.
The county suffers more fork lift-related fatalities per head of its population than anywhere else in the country, according to statistics from the Fork Lift Truck Association.
The Berwick area was home to the most per capita deaths from fork lift truck accidents between 2001 and 2008.
Bedlington Terriers Reserves were on the wrong end of a heavy defeat at Rothbury (pictured in red) in the North Northumberland League this weekend.
Four goals from Jackie Angus, three by Craig Sutton and single strikes by Stuart Foreman, Alan Brown, Michael Ord and Scott Rennison saw the home team net 11 times.
Berwick Town put in a better performance, but still lost out to Shaun McKay and Kyle Kennedy efforts for Shilbottle.
Savage job losses and service cuts flagged up for Northumberland's new super council over the next four years have been described as a "worst case scenario" by a town hall leader.
Details of the potential cutbacks - which it is claimed could mean up to 3,500 redundancies and draconian service reductions - have emerged from a private briefing session involving senior county council officers and political group leaders.
They depict a gloomy scenario in which the unitary authority could find itself by 2013, and are based on predicted budget reductions totalling £80m.
Only four rivers in the whole of England are in "top condition", a major survey reveals today, and all of them are in Northumberland.
The Environment Agency's annual assessment of waterways showed seven out of 10 English rivers and nine out of 10 Welsh rivers had either "very good" or "good" standards of biological and chemical water quality.
But under higher standards set down by the EU, which include examination of habitat provided for wildlife and the impact of pressures such as water abstraction, only 26% of rivers reached the required "high" or "good" condition.
