FOOTBALL - AFC Solihull and Knowle play out goalless draw in derby

A LOCAL derby between AFC Solihull and Knowle ended in a goalless draw as both teams dropped their first points of the season.

The result means both teams remain unbeaten after three matches in the Midland Football League Division Two this season.

Solihull dominated the first half at Rumbush Lane but could only manage a single shot on target as Knowle goalkeeper Craig Johnson made a comfortable save.

The Robins defended well but struggled to hit the target at the other end with both sides determined to keep a clean sheet.

Clear-cut chances remained a premium after the break although Knowle improved but failed to trouble the Solihull goal often enough.

Both teams are next in action on Saturday, August 17 at 3pm with AFC Solihull away at AFC Coventry Rangers and Knowle at home to Inkberrow.
