Linfield closed the gap on leaders Glentoran despite being held to a scoreless draw by Lisburn Distillery.

Damian Curran had an early snapshot while Ryan McCann hit the woodwork and Darren Armour saw an effort cleared off the line for the Whites.

After the break Michael Carvill was denied by Philip Matthews and headed against the outside of the post.

Billy Joe Burns and Robbie White also had opportunities and Wayne Buchanan blocked a late effort by John Martin.

Linfield boss David Jeffrey said: "I am not disappointed with the draw but I thought we just about did enough to win it.

"Distillery is a really tough place to come and they really are a good side. That is why I am more than pleased with a point."
