FC Isle of Man's unbeaten start to the 2026/27 NWCFL Premier Division continued with a hard fought draw away at Glossop North End.
After Saturday's 2-0 win over St Helens, it marks the Ravens first back to back clean sheets in over two years.
The first opening of the night fell to captain Joe Quayle after good work down the right by Will Cowin and Freddie O'Donoghue, but his shot went just wide.
Quayle then turned provider as he found Cowin, but his shot was deflected behind by a corner.
With just under 20 minutes played, Kyle Watson was the next to test the Glossop goal as he crafted space for himself but saw his effort saved by Oliver Martin.
With chances proving hard to come by, Al Maitland came within inches of breaking the deadlock just before half-time as his header rattled the bar.
The final chance of the half fell to Dean Pinnington who did well to create his own space for a shot, which was blocked by a defender.
The second half saw the home side step up a gear with Adam Killey, making his 100th apperance for the Ravens, making a series of good saves.
With Maitland, Callum Sherry and Karl Clark throwing themselves in front of everything, the Ravens defence held out well in the half and when Glossop did break through, Killey was there to keep the game goalless.
With 79 minutes on the clock, Killey made the save of the night as a corner fell to Jack Barnes, but his riffled shot was expertly stopped by the big keeper.
As the game enterred its final stages, it appeared that Alex Bowker would give the home side the lead from another corner before it was blocked by Clark, which even the hosts described as 'proper body on the line stuff'.
With neither side able to find a breakthrough, the game ended in a fair 0-0 draw which leaves the Ravens fourth in the early standings.
Our next game is on Saturday August 15th at home to Ramsbottom United.
