It was a goalless stalemate at Jenkins Park for the Boxing Day Derby in the first ever Western League fixture between the local rivals which was fought on a heavy pitch in front of a good crowd of 233, with the home side ending up with ten men and the visitors failing to take their chances.

The first 20 minutes of the match was even with both sides having half chances in the final third. Taylor Love-Holmes for the hosts and Ryan Richards for the visitors both breaking past the midfields but failing to edge past the defence for either side.

On the 25th minute a cross into the area by the visitors through Paul Heveran found Curtis Damerell to head wide at the far post from 10 yards.

With five minutes remaining of the first half, Jake Foster for the home side shot just over the cross bar from the edge of the area after some good build play by the home sides midfield.

To make matters worse for the pitch, there was a heavy shower at the half time break to make the pitch even more heavy for the both teams to navigate in the second half.

On the hour mark Sean Thomson for the home side shot just over the bar when he was set up by some lovely passing moves by the hosts midfield.

Five minutes later Thomson was shown a straight red card for an incident in the area with a visiting defender when the home side was setting up for a free kick.

On the 75th minute Jake Foster had a shot on goal for the hosts when Sam Hillson, in some last minute defending cleared the ball of goal line.

With time slowly ticking down, Jack Alexander on the 85th minute for The Point ran down the left wing cut in towards the area beating two home defenders to see his effort go just wide.

Four minutes into stoppage time Ryan Richards crossed a pinpoint ball onto Curtis Damerell in the area to shoot home from ten yards,but the linesman flagged for offside on a very close call.
