Grays could have taken the lead as early as the first minute when defender Jamie Stuart saw his 12-yard shot saved by Boro goalkeeper Alan Julian.

The closest Stevenage got to scoring was when striker Steve Morison's shot went wide of the left-hand post.

Julian then had to make fine saves from Aaron O'Connor and Scott Taylor as both sides shared the spoils.
