The Terras, who also drew 0-0 in their opening game at Halesowen Town last Saturday, showed plenty of endeavour but lacked the quality in the final third to break the deadlock despite a lively performance by substitute Warren Byerley, who twice went close in the second half.

Swindon Supermarine looked by far the more dangerous side in the first half, going close through ex-Terras duo Jamie Gosling and Chris Allen, but after the break it was an even contest with a point apiece being a fair result at the final whistle.

Ian Hutchinson made one change to his side with Jamie McGuinness replacing Bradley Magookin on the right of midfield but in an open start to the match it was the visitors who applied some early pressure with Nick Stanley firing just wide of the near post.

It was clear the Terras were struggling to settle and on 22 minutes another long-range strike from Stanley found the net following a wicked deflection, which completely wrong-footed home keeper Tom Manley.

However, to the home side’s relief, referee Chris Wade ruled it out, deeming the ball had ricocheted off a Supermarine player’s hand.

Manley then made two solid stops to deny Allen and Gosling as the away outfit continued to grow in confidence, which was in sharp contrast to Weymouth, who were finding it hard to get out of their own half. But then, on 32 minutes, a fantastic break down the right saw the Terras create their first opportunity.

Skipper Simon Radcliffe picked out Jules Emati-Emati, who had made a superb burst into the box.

Unfortunately, the cross was just too far in front of the ex-Dorchester Town striker whose volley on the stretch looped into the air, giving Supermarine keeper Mark Scott a comfortable catch.

Despite that effort the Terras were still looking edgy and moments later Gosling fired another warning shot from just outside the box which flew inches over the left upright.

Byerley replaced Emati-Emati just after the break but the ball still failed to stick up front for the Terras, making it very difficult for them to get sufficient numbers forward to pose any real threat to Supermarine’s backline.

However, on the hour, Weymouth’s new arrival did test Scott with a looping header, which the keeper did well to tip over the bar.

That lifted the home fans and suddenly the Terras began to show a bit more invention. And just four minutes later, Byerley gambled again and latched on to a long ball before shooting across the face of goal.

His low drive beat Scott and rolled agonisingly wide of the far post.

But back came Supermarine again through their danger man Gosling, who skipped past a couple of challenges on the edge of the Weymouth area before firing another effort just off target.

Cameron Mawer then made a fine last-ditch tackle to deny Gosling again after Scott Dixon got caught in possession just inside his own box as tired legs allowed the game to open up.

Adrenaline was running high and on 85 minutes an over zealous challenge by Mawer on Allen, who had already fouled substitute Matteo King, caused a flare up that ended with both men receiving yellow cards.

Both teams then huffed and puffed in the dying minutes before Wade blew the final whistle to bring the curtain down on what was a largely uninspiring contest.
