Woking 0-0 Bristol Rovers
- From the section Football
Second-placed Bristol Rovers edged a point closer to Conference leaders Barnet with a goalless draw at Woking.
Matty Taylor had an effort disallowed for Rovers - who are unbeaten in 14 and five points off the top - while Tom Parkes nodded over in injury time.
But Woking had chances, too, with Pirates goalkeeper Will Puddy saving headers from substitute Scott Rendell and Joe McNerney.
The hosts remain a point outside the play-off places in seventh.
Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey:

"We thoroughly deserved the a share of the points and I think it's a fair result on both sides.
"I think both sides had their opportunities in the game to get into the final third but neither goalie really had much to do.
"Although some people may say we haven't won in the last seven league games, we haven't lost in five.
"I thought he [Ross Lafayette] did well today, which gives us encouragement especially when we've had Scott Rendell out. It's difficult to get a hold-up striker to replace Scott but Ross has done well today and I'm happy overall."
Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke told BBC Radio Bristol:

"It was a tough point. All credit to Woking, I thought they played well on the day.
"We defended well as a team, but never really got the quality that we've had in the previous five games.
"We haven't had our football going, our attacking football like we know we can, but credit to Woking they stiffened us a bit.
"It was a game of not many chances, a dull 0-0 if I'm honest. But there were two committed teams having a right go."
