County League leaders Sharpness were held to a goalless draw by Broadwell Amateurs at Hamfields, with neither side able to find a breakthrough in a tight encounter.
Sharpness had the better of the first half but were unable to convert their chances. Jack Higgs went close when his powerful header was well saved by Watkins in the Broadwell goal.
After the break, Sharpness continued to press and came closest through a pair of long throw-ins. One found Archie Mears, whose acrobatic bicycle kick flew just over the bar, while another chance fell to Kier Bennett, who scuffed his shot, allowing it to be cleared off the line.
Broadwell grew into the game late on and could have snatched all three points, but both Davies and Belfitt were denied in one-on-one situations by Dykes, who stood firm to preserve Sharpness’s clean sheet.
Despite the draw, Sharpness remain top of the table but will see it as two points dropped after failing to make their early dominance count.

Tewkesbury Town extended their winning run with a hard-fought 2–1 win over Chalford, who are still searching for their first point of the season.

Chalford fought back after the break, with James Keylock scoring a well-taken goal to make it 2–1. The visitors pressed in search of an equaliser, causing a number of scrambles in the box, but Town held firm to claim all three points.
