Banbury Utd 0 Swindon Supermarine 0 BANBURY United battled out a goalless draw against Swindon Supermarine in the Southern League Premier Division at Spencer Stadium.
Banbury started brightly, and went close when Joe Coleman’s header hit former Banbury goalkeeper Mark Scott and bounced off his legs on the goal-line, and away to safety.
Scott then made a phenomenal point-blank save to flick Delroy Gordon’s header over the bar for a corner.
But then the game degenerated into a dour battle with defences on top.
The second half was no better as far as excitement was concerned, although Supermarine’s Chris Allen almost broke the deadlock with an opportunist strike which hit the bar.
Gordon had another header saved by Scott, who pushed the ball to one side and it was hacked clear for a corner, in the last action of the game.
Banbury Utd: Murrell, Stanbridge (Oulton 60), Howarth, Gordon, Learoyd, Haisley, Coleman, Benjamin, Shariff, Taylor, Martin (Staff 71). Subs not used: Cross, Cray.
Attendance: 213.
