Rob 'Safe hands' Blackburne was alert to 'Stag' attacks 
Action from the Wares clash with the Stags
Ryman League Division 1 North
Edgware Town 0
Waltham Forest 0
Attendance 77
The Stags of Waltham Forest very nearly caused an upset at the White Lion Ground this afternoon, as yet again Edgware wasted chances and were made to settle for a share of the spoils, the Wares 14th draw of the campaign!
The Stags were left to rue a 55th penalty miss, given for handball; Gazmond Dauti's shot was pushed aside by Rob Blackburne to deny what would have been a vital first win of 2008 for lowly Forest.
Edgware were disappointing in the extreme, as what chances that were created though an inept midfield were wasted by Adam Wallace, Greg Ngoyi and substitute Kevin Chakaodza.
Rather then tire in the latter stages of the match, The Stags kept up the pressure on the home side and one of six new singings, Lee Scott and ex Edgware forward Johnathan Donoughue both acquired from Spartan league side Kentish Town, were a constant threat, to Rory Smith and his defense, as the Wares repelled the Stags attacks.
But for wasteful finishing, Edgware could have grabbed all 3pts late in the match, as Substitute Fabio Valenti, sent in several good balls that Wallace and Chakaodza failed to capitalize on, one in particular evading the bulky striker's foot from just yards out.
Having dropped points at Tilbury last weekend this result will do little to solidify Edgware's hopes of opening daylight between themselves and the other play off contenders.
Waltham Forest will be the happier of the two sides as Edgware recorded a 14th league draw, 7 of which have been score less.
The Wares remain in 4th spot, but the teams above and below them have matches in hand that should they win would see Edgware overhauled in the playoff places.
A visit to Dean Holdsworth's Redbridge in a play off '6 pointer' next Saturday for Edgware
Match Rating 2 out of 5
MOTM Rob Blackburne Yet again Rob kept a clean sheet and at times kept Edgware in the match
