Yeovil Town secured a goalless draw at Huish Park against play-off hopefuls Halifax Town, dealing a significant blow to Halifax’s National League ambitions.
Halifax’s early efforts were thwarted by home goalkeeper Jed Ward, who comfortably saved a shot from Jay Turner-Cooke before making a more challenging stop against Josh Hmami. Ward’s heroics continued just before half-time, denying another curling attempt from Turner-Cooke.
Halifax’s Billy Waters squandered a golden opportunity to break the deadlock when he fired over the bar from close range. At the other end, Yeovil’s Terrell Works was denied a chance by Halifax keeper Sam Johnson.
