NORTH Leigh could not find a way through as they were held to a stalemate by visitors Harlow Town.

Both sides hit the woodwork in an entertaining first half, with Millers forward Jefferson Louis striking the crossbar after ten minutes.

Harlow increased the pressure after the break, although North Leigh turned the tide and finished strongly.

Louis twice shot off target and Roger James saw a good opportunity cleared as the hosts stayed fourth in Pitching In Southern League Division 1 Central.

Meanwhile, results broadly went Oxford City’s way in Vanarama National League South.

Ross Jenkins’ side were the only team in the top eight without a game and dropped a place to fourth, thanks to Dartford’s 2-1 win over Chelmsford City.

But three of the four teams below City tasted defeat.

Ebbsfleet United lost 1-0 at Braintree Town, St Albans City went down 2-1 at Billericay Town and Dulwich Hamlet were beaten 2-0 at Maidstone United.

It keeps City ten points above Dulwich, the team immediately below the play-off places.
