Thanks to torrential rain, the going was heavy, and throw in a high wind you either get a thrilling lottery or a poor 90 minutes - this was the latter with only two shots on target by both sides throughout.

When the players trudged off keepers Andy Lomas and his counterpart Darren Williams were the cleanest!

In the first half Steve Butler volleyed over from close in, and the nearest United came was on 53 minutes, Ricky Sullivan striking a post with a low 20-yard shot.

In the last minute Holness was put through by Tivey but he blasted high and wide.
