Haverfordwest County 0 – Caernarfon Town 0

 
Haverfordwest County remain second in the table following a frustrating goalless draw with Caernarfon Town at the LHP Stadium Carmarthen.
 
The Bluebirds are currently four points behind leaders Penybont but Bluebirds’ manager Tony Pennock must have felt this was two points dropped rather than one point gained.
 
However, on the positive note Pennock’s men have impressively gone eight games unbeaten, but they are creating chances but must be more clinical in front of goal if they are continue for a push for a top six finish.
 
The Canaries are perched in sixth in the table they’re a difficult team to beat as manager Richard Davies has built a solid squad who can compete against all the top teams.
 
Haverfordwest County made three changes from last week’s Welsh Cup victory as Zac Jones, Lee Jenkins and Corey Shephard returned to the starting line up also it was Luke Tabone’s 50^th appearance for the club.
 
The hosts created the better chances in the first period as Greg Walters had a goal bound effort blocked, Corey Shephard’s deflected edge of the are shot is comfortably gathered by Stephen McMullen, striker Ben Ahmun struck a vicious right-footed just wide.
 
After the break Ahmun’s cross across the face of goal just evaded co striker Ben Fawcett who slid in without getting the vital scoring touch.
 
On the stroke of full time the visitors came close to clinching the winner as Daniel Gossett’s low shot was stopped by Lee Jenkins’s body as the central defender laid out on the ground on the goa line.
