Ex-Pilgrim Peter Crook thwarted Ethan Sephton before the break - with Cameron Gregory denying former United loanee Jordan Nicholson in the second half.

Chances were at a premium early on, despite a strong United start, but it was Gregory who had to produce the first real save to deny Maniche Sani's glancing header. Nicholson then cleared the crossbar with a subsequent effort from the edge of the penalty area.

United threatened with Jake Wright glancing a header wide from a Sam McLintock free-kick and Crook denying Sephton with a good low save to his left.

Ex-Pilgrim Richard Jones headed a Hugh Albans-Jones corner off target in the second half, while Gregory produced a good stop to thwart Nicholson - but honours ended even.
