DORCHESTER Sports were held to goalless draw to in-form Swanage & Herston town in the Dorset Premier League 

It was a hard-earned point as neither side could break the deadlock at the Avenue Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

It was an even contest from the start, with chances at a premium.

Swans defender Cohen Lee made a crucial interception in the early exchanges, before captain Stephen Pryor saved what looked like a certain goal for Sports.

The sides cancelled each other out, but the hosts had an opportunity to take the lead as Joel Hewitt went close but missed the target.

Cody Moore looked lively at the other end for Swanage, troubling the Sports defenders, but neither side was able to find the net in the first period, heading into the break without score.

Swanage created some chances after the break, with Josh Reavenall-Nuete going on a promising run and letting fly, but he just missed the target.

Ocean Smith also went close after being set up by Codey Moore, but Dorchester went closest to finding the elusive opening goal, a speculative shot hitting the post and bouncing to safety.

The game came to a close to give both sides a hard-earned point with Dorchester remaining at the top of the table, two pints clear of Bournemouth Sports in second place.
