Hide AdBlues didn’t set out just to play for a point though as Lee Roache and Gary Wharton came close in the first half, while defenders James Kaloczi and Adam Pepera were on hand to make some important clearances too.
Pedrycz made a good save from Ashley Sammons, as United midfielder Sam Merson’s long throws caused trouble, with Robert Thompson-Brown’s effort shaving the bar.
Wharton fired wide and Danny Talbot’s effort deflected behind as home keeper Jose Veiga saved well from Wharton.
In the second half, the pressure mounted on Dunstable, but they defended resolutely, with new signing Mark Smith coming off the bench and Wharton was close to a winner too, shooting narrowly wide.
