Dunstable kept up their recent momentum early on, as Green went clean through but was denied by keeper Alexander Street.
The Linnets’ only real threat was Michael Clunan’s 25-yard free kick was was easily stopped by Head, as a promising move between Vences Bola and Bossman eventually came to nothing.

Hide AdZack Reynolds, who has a penchant for artistic play, weaved through and sent the ball to Bola who released Danny Green, before play was stopped for an infringement, while Danny Talbot’s free kick hit the wall, with Reynolds over the top too.
Jack Green’s set-piece drew a decent stop from Street, while he was also denied by the keeper again in the second period, before blocking Bola’s effort with his outstretched foot.
For the Linnets, Lee Stevenson blazed over, but Dunstable looked the more likely, Talbot’s free kick shaving the bar.

The best chance of the half came when Bossman was put through on goal, only for the striker to opt for a pass as the opportunity went begging.
Ryan Hawkins came quite close in the dying minutes and a late flurry of attacks from Dunstable saw them nearly nick all three points, but both sides had to make do with a point.
