Margate are still looking for their first win in Vanarama National League South after a frustrating night at Hartsdown Park.

They enjoyed plenty of possession, but failed to break thge deadlock against a stubborn Wealdstone side on Tuesday.

The North London side though went close to snatching a late winner when Gate goalkeeper Nikki Bull kept out a fierce drive by Matthew Ball.

Gate boss Terry Brown sent on Ryan Moss to replace Christian Jolley with less than 20 minutes left, but Wealdstone survived some anxious moments as the night ended in goalless stalemate.

Jefferson Louis looked to have broken the deadlock in the second half, but referee Ian Cooper ruled it out for a push.

Margate hit the crossbar three times in the first period.

Nathan Green, Jake Goodman and Solomon Taiwo's free-kick were all denied as Gate's possession failed to produce any reward.

Gate goalkeeper Nikki Bull produced a fine point-blank save to deny Conor Calcutt early on, and Jonathan North fired wide from a good position.
