Chippenham Town held Wealdstone to a goalless draw despite playing more than an hour with 10 men in the West Country on Saturday.

It told its own story that the dismissal of Jamie Guthrie 24 minutes in was the main talking point for both sides, although his foul was notably poor and could have been more of a danger to Ryan Sellers than it would prove.

But as it proved when the Stones last faced a team with numerical disadvantage, the dismissal would only suit to frustrate the visitors, who could not break down a home defence desperate for a rare clean sheet on the back of a poor run of form.

Wealdstone did create chances though, and Matt Day's 20th-minute effort somehow nestled in the arms of Jared Thompson.

He would later save a rasping drive from the same player before a comical own goal was averted by the width of the post, cannoning away to safety with Wealdstone unable to turn home the rebound.

Substitute Harry Goodger shot wide twice late on but the visitors were forced to settle for a late point, albeit one which complements their recent home form.

Wealdstone: North, Wilson, Sellers, Hill, Day, Williams, Cox, Okimo, Fitchett, Green, Hippolyte-Patrick.
