Saturday
Little Stoke 0 Frampton United 0
LITTLE Stoke have played 180 minutes of football in the County League so far but have yet to find the back of the net.
They drew 0-0 in the week and again on Saturday at home to Frampton United.
They were unable to penetrate the visitors defence but held firm at the back keeping the Frampton forwards at bay with some good goalkeeping by Luke Langson.
The visitors looked more likely to break the deadlock but if the defence were beaten then Langson was there to tidy up. The home side conceded several free kicks in dangerous positions but the visitors were unable to capitalise.
There was plenty of effort from both teams but the finishing was either straight to the keepers of wide of the target.
Myron Turner had a great chance to put Frampton ahead on 62 minutes but shot wide of the target.
Langson then made a good save to deny Joe Wilton and on 80 minutes a long free kick from Frampton’s Nathan Dennis to the far post found substitute Lee Dyer on the far post but he headed over the bar.
Joe Wilton broke clear on 87 minutes but his shot was deflected away for a corner by Langson. Right at the death Langson brought of another good save this time to deny Jack Phillips.
