Abingdon United gave a superb rearguard display to earn a 0-0 draw against runaway Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West leaders Bidford on Saturday.
In their first home game of 2012, Abingdon held a team who were unbeaten in 19 games.
Although it was a match of few chances, Abingdon’s James Foster was the busier of the two keepers, making excellent saves from Matt Andrew, Kev-in Squire and Aaron Harper-Penman in the first 20 minutes.
At the other end, Luke Carnell headed wide for Abingdon, while new signing Danny Seaward proved a handful for the Bideford defence.
The game came to life in the last 20 minutes when Foster saved well again from Squire.
Sam Collier had a chance to grab a win for the hosts, but vol-leyed over from seven yards.
Abingdon Utd: Foster, Buck, Young, Allaway, Carnell, Evans, Kingsbeer (Biddle 75), Packer (Angell 80), Collier (Smith 87), Seaward, Parfitt.
Attendance: 72
