Rugby Town 0, Chippenham Town 0

LATEST SCORE: RUGBY TOWN 0, CHIPPENHAM TOWN 0

FULL TIME: The 100 per cent record is over and in all honesty neither side would have deserved a late winner had it come. It was more a case of both attacks lacking potency than good defending but a clean sheet and a point away from home can never be dismissed. Log on to G&H Sport on Tuesday night for minute-by-minute updates of the game against Hemel Hempstead Town

94 Mins: Lamb goes on a mazy run into the penalty area and wins a corner, but Thomson‘s delivery is poor and easily cleared.

90 Mins: Long throw from Gullick causes some problems but eventually dealt with. Whistle could come any second now.

88 Mins: Chippenham applying some late pressure and Clough‘s cross-come-shot is brilliantly held by Stevens. That looked like a breakthrough at last. Shawn Richards comes on for Matt Gearing. Correction from earlier, Bassett went off for Gullick. Kolodynski booked for diving at the other. Chippenham hearts were in their mouths there as it looked like the ref had given a penalty.

85 Mins: Lamb and Gullick interchange passes but the left back’s shot is straight at Stevens. 4-4-2 now for Chippenham with Williams moved to right back and Lye in the middle of the park. Chippenham are showing sings of getting back into it.

81 Mins: Last-gasp interception from Casey after a good low cross from Rugby. Thomson on for Gullick.

78 Mins: Chippenham should be ahead! Bassett‘s corner flies through to the back post where Tindle rises but fails to connect. That turns out to be the last thing he does as Lye replaces him. Thompson on for Ramsay for Rugby.

76 Mins: Bassett torments his marker on the wing and is cynically brought down. Lamb‘s free kick is low and powerful but doesn‘t find anyone.

73 Mins: Casey misses a long punt forward and allows Kolodynski in behind the defence but Snoddy is there to clear up. At the other end Gullick puts a cross in but Bassett‘s attempted volley spins off his foot and wide.

70 Mins: Now Greg Tindle is down. He went for a header, went through the forward and his momentum saw him land on his neck. He looks shaken but is playing on. Kolodynski down for Rugby as well with a back injury.

68 Mins: Bassett puts his best cross of the day in, Highmore throws his head at it and is accidentally punched by the keeper. That looked a strong blow and Scott Garraway has signalled for him to be replaced. Benison replaces him. Scott Lye is also warming up with intent.

63 Mins: Tindle fouls Kolodynski on very edge of the area and gives away a free kick. That was inches away from a penalty. Luckily for Chippenham the eventual delivery was poor.

61 Mins: This game could get quite aggressive, quite quickly. A lot of niggly challenges are being made and the referee‘s decisions are winding up both sets of players.

56 Mins: Luke Gullick appeals for a handball in the area but it was blasted at the defender‘s hand from a yard or so away.

55 Mins: Chippenham should be one-up here! Adams plays a nice ball down the wing into Highmore, who turns and plays in Clough, but the young midfielder misses his kick and Stevens gathers.

53 Mins: Tindle fouls Kolodynski on the edge of the box and a very generous free kick is awarded. Purton‘s curling free kick is just wide of the right post. Another good effort from him. Chippenham are not at the races in this second half so far.

50 Mins: Tindle gives away a blatant free kick by pushing Ramsay in the back in the centre circle. The set piece falls to Purton who fires a shot in but Snoddy is equal to it again.

47 Mins: Great save from Snoddy! Nicell whips a ball in which Gordon, the skipper, meets strongly but the keeper gets down one-handed to turn it around the post.

46 Mins: No changes for either side here as the second half begins.

HALF TIME: The teams go in goal-less and it has not been a thrilling spectacle here in Rugby. Chippenham have looked the more likely to make a breakthrough, with the home side mostly restricted to long shots, but neither side can claim they deserve to be in front.

43 Mins: Long shot from Staff for Rugby but Snoddy gets down well to save it.

40 Mins: Bassett is on the end of a potentially nasty tackle, from behind and down his Achilles, but the referee doesn‘t give anything. In frustration, the winger chases after the perpetrator and fouls him. Referee motions towards him to calm down but no booking.

37 Mins: Best moment for Rugby as Purton‘s long shot is deflected wide and the resulting corner is poorly dealt with, but the home side fail to take advantage.

36 Mins: Best chance of the half and it goes to Chippenham. Highmore holds the ball up in the box, spins, and plays into the breaking Williams but he makes a mess of his shot and blasts it over from eight yards.

34 Mins: Bassett makes a rash challenge on Purton and is very lucky to avoid a booking. The Welshman showed his fiery temperament in pre-season and that was not a one-off. Whenever he is dispossessed you expect a flying challenge from him.

29 Mins: Kolodynski appeals for a penalty after a barge by Casey but the claim was optimistic at best. Referee Cook has a word with Ashley Williams and Craig Herbert about an off-the-ball incident.

26 Mins: Great cross into the box from Lamb but Williams‘ header is forced wide for a corner. Bassett takes a low corner to the near post, but Powell hits his shot wide. Good idea though.

22 Mins: Diagonal ball forward from Gullick finds the head of Ross Adams, but it isi deflected wide for a corner. From the set piece Highmore has a close-range effort bravely blocked to force another corner. Bassett again takes and the keeper flaps at it so it‘s three corners in a row but it again comes to nothing. Chippenham on top now. Stevens in the Rugby goal looks uncomfortable with crosses.

17 Mins: Chippenham‘ best spell of possession in the game ends with Ross Adams‘ sending ina cross which nearly catches keeper Stevens unaware. 30 seconds later, Gullick cuts infield and beats a couple of players but drags hos shot wide of the left-hand post.

13 Mins: Corner for Rugby but Snoddy claims well. Chippenham are looking to use Bassett’s pace on right wing whenever possible.

9 Mins: Shout for a penalty after a high challenge in the box on Ben Highmore. He stayed on his feet which probably went against him in the referee‘s mind.

7 Mins: Chippenham on the back foot early on here. No big chances for either side but a lot of long balls into dangerous areas.

1 Mins:Good start for Rugby as Snoddy has to rush out and make a diving stop at the forward’s feet within 30 seconds.

TEAM NEWS: Chippenham make one change from the side who defeated Didcot on Tuesday evening with Lyle Bassett replacing Scott Lye, who has been suffering from illness this week. Ben Highmore will be looking to continue to his run of scoring in every game. Dangerman David Kolodynski starts for Rugby. Sam Allison serves the final game of a three-match ban.

Log on to G&H Sport today from 2.45pm for full minute-by-minute coverage of Chippenham Town's trip to Rugby Town in the Zamaretto Premier League.

Adie Mings' side have enjoyed a fine start to the season with two wins from their opening two games. They will be favourites to make it nine points today when they play a side who have taken no points from two games and conceded nine goals

The home side pose a major threat in the form of clinical striker David Kolodynski, top-scorer in the league last year and with two goals already this term.

Mings is likely to stick with the side who eased to victory over Didcot on Tuesday but may hand a start to Kyle Bassett, who has impressed from the bench in both games so far.

So log on to gazetteandherald.co.uk/sport from 2.45pm to see how the Bluebirds fare on their visit to Butlin Road.
