AFC Telford United 0 Worcester City 0
AFC Telford United recorded their first clean sheet of the Skrill Conference North season with a goalless draw against Worcester at the New Bucks Head.
The Bucks rued a hat-trick of missed chances in the second-half from Adam Farrell - the striker hitting the crossbar, post and having one cleared off the line.
The only moment of real note in the first-half came when Worcester full-back Graham Hutchison cleared Neill Byrne's header off the line for Telford on 21 minutes.
Danny Glover had also gone close to breaking the deadlock for the visitors on the half hour, his shot dropping agonisingly wide of the post.
The game exploded into life for a period after the break, with Telford rattling the woodwork twice in the space of four minutes as they battled to end the deadlock.
Sean Clancy's cross three minutes after the restart was met by the head of Farrell, but the crossbar came to Worcester's rescue and they were left off again on 52.
It was Farrell who was denied for a second time, after the Bucks forward had nicked the ball off Worcester defender Shabir Khan and slotted it past goalkeeper Jose Veiga.
Veiga was on the floor and beaten but the ball struck the post and come back out, before Farrell hit the rebound back into the goalkeeper's midriff.
Substitute Matthew McGinn should have done better on 64 minutes after being found on the left by Mike Grogan's cross-field pass, but he blasted wide of the near post.
Farrell couldn't believe his luck for a third time with 20 minutes to go, as former Telford favourite Phil Trainer hacked his goal-bound effort off the line.
Substitute Sean Cooke had deflected the ball into his path, as the winger got into the thick of the action in his first competitive appearance for the club after fracturing his leg.
It could have even been Worcester who nicked it late on after Aaron Williams broke down the right to leave himself one-on-one with Ryan Young, the goalkeeper parrying his shot with six minutes left.
