County League

Little Stoke 0

Stonehouse Town 0

SECOND-PLACED Stonehouse shared the spoils at Little Stoke.

The Oldends Lane outfit started brightly enough - Tim Williams should have given the Magpies the lead with just Little Stoke keeper Turner to beat.

They missed another chance on seven minutes as Ryan Stewart sent a great low cross skimming into the six-yard box.

It was all Stonehouse - Lee Keveren shooting wide from the edge of the box.

Little Stoke mustered one shot in the first- half Will Pedrick comfortably saving. Williams missed a chance after the break for Stonehouse.

Keiron Williams demanded a save from Pedrick as the home side found their feet.

Sasha Tong tested Pedrick with a good shot and at the other end Stonehouse struck the crossbar twice in succession.

With 12 minutes to go Tong struck the bar and from the rebound Pedrick tipped the ball over from Tong. Right on time, Turner pulled off a good save to deny Stonehouse substitute Ross Lindley.

Next up: Saturday, January 21, 2pm: Stonehouse v Rockleaze Rangers.
