Paulton Rovers and Worcester played to a scoreless draw in a match held at Winterfield Stadium, with the game delayed by 20 minutes due to a closure on the M5 motorway that affected Worcester’s arrival. Both teams displayed tentative play early on, resulting in a largely uneventful first half. Worcester appeared to adopt a slightly more adventurous approach during this period, but clear scoring opportunities were scarce.

For Paulton, Dylan Gould was unable to convert a chance, shooting wide, while Worcester’s Raiders also had a couple of attempts that missed the target. The second half saw a marginal increase in intensity, with Paulton starting strongly. Brandon Bak emerged as a key figure, notably heading a cross from Tyller Davis-Whitlock onto the crossbar in a promising moment for the hosts. Davis-Whitlock himself narrowly missed with a shot soon after, and Bak had another effort blocked late in the game.

Despite these opportunities, neither side managed to break the deadlock, resulting in a goalless draw. Bak’s contributions earned him recognition as Paulton’s standout performer. The match finished without goals, reflecting a contest that struggled to produce sustained attacking threat from either team.
