Ebbsfleet were held to a goalless draw on home turf against in-form Braintree Town in the Blue Square Bet South.

The unbeaten visitors started the match at Stonebridge Road well and Sean Marks twice went close early on.

Liam Daish’s (pictured) side improved in the second half and Michael West fired narrowly over and with ten minutes remaining former Fleet man Jamie Guy drew a good save from Preston Edwards.

Fleet could have won it late on with Ram Marwa smashing an effort just over and West’s curling shot going just wide.
