Division One Corsham endured a frustrating afternoon in Bath, where they were held to a 0-0 draw by a stubborn Larkhall Athletic.
The hosts were reduced to nine men after Jim McLay was dismissed on 20 minutes for retaliation, and Shaun Wiles-Richards joined him seconds later for verbal abuse directed at an official.
Despite having a two-man advantage for 70 minutes, Mark Godley's men just couldn't break down their opponents.
Larkhall simply shut up shop, and Corsham didn't have the guile to force a decisive goal.
Player-coach John Freegard headed wide on a number of occasions.
Andy Wicks and James Lye both squandered decent openings, and Matt Pratley hit the post late on.
When Freegard finally found the net on 81 minutes, his strike was ruled out for infringement.
The result hinders Godley's promotion hopes, with his side now slipping to eighth in the division.
Calne's game with Torrington was cancelled due to a frozen pitch.
