Lincoln City and AFC Telford United played out a disappointing 45 minutes in the Conference Premier.

After an uneventful opening, Lincoln almost took the lead through Tom Anderson, but his header from a Sean Newton corner was cleared off the line by Ryan Higgins.

Chances continued to be few and far between at Sincil Bank, with only a deflected free kick from Newton posing any kind of threat to either goal.

Shortly after the half-hour mark, Nat Brown headed wide from a corner before Andy Todd finally offered a response from the visitors when his effort was kept out by Nick Townsend.

Brown had a late opportunity for Lincoln but his attempt went wide after he had been found inside the penalty area.
