PURNELL SHUTS OUT TOWN AT THE DEATH
Weston and Hungerford wasted the chance to boost their survival hopes at the Optima Stadium as the six pointer between the division's bottom two sides ended in stalemate.
A game almost devoid of chances (glad I wasn't there then) did little to ease the home supporters' frustrations, with relegation to the Southern League looking increasingly likely.
Weston huffed and puffed but lacked guile and created very little in front of goal while Hungerford were content to hold their shape and feed off scraps.
Howling winds and a poor pitch only made the game less entertaining and it culminated in a joyless afternoon for all involved.
The Seagulls started brightly and almost took the lead through Alex Bray in the fourth minute, his inventive flick going just wide.
The Crusaders went close after the break but Aaron Parsons anticipated well to clear after Danilo Orsi-Dadomo rounded Luke Purnell.
Weston's best chance came with 15 minutes left when Jennison Myrie-Williams cut the ball back for Marlon Jackson but he was superbly denied by Michael Layumbula's save.
Hungerford almost snatched the points in added time as Alfy Whittingham drove at goal but Luke Purnell saved well.
