The best chance of the half fell to Supermarine winger Ryan Campbell just after the half hour. Following a corner the ball came out to Campbell whose fierce drive was superbly batted away by Luke Purnell in the visiting goal. A flurry of yellow cards ensued in the first half - a competitive but never dirty match with two cautions a piece.
The second period followed the same pattern but with Weston having the bulk of the pressure only to see the home defence holding firm under the stewardship of captain Mat Liddiard however Marine always looked sharp on the break with league top scorer Harry Williams a threat.
With time running out and the visitors pushing hard, a great break from Swindon saw Henry Spalding tee up a chance for Williams whose superb swivel and shot close in looked destined for the top corner until Purnell flew through the air to push it wide. A world class match saving stop.
Josh Gould in the home goal earnt his salt a minute later as his save onto the post was equally as important to keep the deadlock.
Despite an extra five minutes no breakthrough was achieved and in fairness three points for either side would have been unjust.
Good to see two sides getting the ball down and playing and despite the scoreline an enjoyable match to watch.
