Tamworth 0-0 Forest Green

Blue Square Premier

Tamworth were left to rue their luck in front of goal following a goalless draw against struggling Forest Green Rovers.

The Lambs were denied by a fine display from visiting keeper Terry Burton while Alex Rodman and Iyseden Christie both struck the woodwork in the second half.

Despite being outplayed for much of the game, relegation-threatened Rovers did create a number of openings.

Daniel Powell had a shot blocked and Isaiah Rankin spurned several chances as Forest Green threatened late on.


Forest Green Rovers Manager Dave Hockaday told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"We showed a lot of determination and character today.

"I'm delighted with a clean sheet and I'm delighted with a point.

"It would be nice to get a settled squad of 14 or 15 but it's a fight all the way at the moment. But the boys thoroughly deserved a draw."
