As goalless games go, this was a decent affair as Chasetown FC extended their unbeaten league run to eight matches in a fixture that brought up Craig Harris’ 100th game in charge of the club.

An end-to-end first half saw Halesowen Town’s leading marksman Ben Haseley twice go close with shots into either side-netting while Jazz Luckie, who scored his first Scholars goal in midweek, was handed a first start and caused all sorts of mayhem and confusion in the Yeltz back line.

But despite the good approach work from both sides at times, neither Ryan Price or former Scholars keeper Matt Sargeant were unduly troubled in either goal.

On a pitch that had looked well weathered with a terrible winter of rain – particularly in very sandy six yard boxes – both sides carried on where they left off in the first half creating plenty of good goal scoring opportunities.

The hosts, who are second in the league table, would perhaps be more disappointed that they did not get the all-important winning goal to boost their challenge for the title, yet it was the visitors who went the closest to stealing all three points.

Iyseden Christie drove an effort just wide of the upright and headed straight at Price from close range, while the normally reliable Haseley miskicked from less than six yards with just the keeper to beat.

But although the Yeltz had created some superb chances to win the game it was at the other end that the eagle-eyes of the officials came into play to deny Chasetown. Luckie’s first shot was blocked by Sargeant but when the rebound came back to him it looked certain that the he would drive into the net. But Kristian Green acrobatically cleared the ball off the line as every Scholars player turned immediately to the assistant referee to see whether he would award the goal – but he didn’t.

Harris almost celebrated a win to mark his century when skipper Richard Teesdale was close to netting from close range after Sargeant kept out his volley on the turn, but the rebound was fired over the bar by Tesfa Robinson.

The final action saw Sargeant in full flight as Simon Brown’s free kick was a whisker wide of the angle of post and crossbar from 25 yards.
