Histon 0-0 Wrexham

Steve Fallon's Histon were unable to make their home advantage count on Saturday afternoon as they were held to a goalless draw by a struggling Wrexham.

The visiting Dragons perhaps looked the stronger of the sides but a solid display from both sets of defences ensured the encounter ended in stalemate.

Histon twice went close to breaking the deadlock in the 16th minute and they unlucky not to hit the back of the net.

Nathaniel Knight-Percival saw his eight-yard header tipped over by Wrexham 'keeper Chris Maxwell, and Jamie Barker saw his header scrape the right-hand post from the resultant corner kick.

Stutes goalkeeper Danny Naisbett twice denied Wrexham striker Marc Williams and the half ended goalless with neither team able to fashion the all-important breakthrough.

And it was much of the same after the half-time break as both side's soaked up the pressure with some hardy defensive work.

However, Wrexham striker Gareth Taylor should have broken the deadlock in the 88th minute but he headed wide of the target from inside the box.

Histon bookings: Cox.

Wrexham bookings: Fleming, Assoumani, Marc Williams.
