McCarthy and Antwi returned as expected.

Both sides had chances in the first 20 minutes, with Marriott pulling off two good saves to deny Hearn.

On half an hour Coulson broke, ran 60 yards, got free of the defence and then failed to beat the 'keeper.

Shortly afterwards Antwi was caught trying to dribble a ball out of defence and McKeown did well to save with his feet from Green.

After a slow start to the second half Marriot once again denied a Coulson shot from the edge of the box.

With the game seemingly petering to a quiet 0-0 draw, Duffy came on and almost scored straight away but the goalkeeper saved at close range with his foot.

Town almost conceded in injury time when Briscoe broke but shot straight at McKeown.

Town had the better of chances but did not do enough to win.
