ACCRINGTON Stanley played out a third successive goalless draw on the road in League Two as they claimed a point at leaders Torquay United this afternoon.

A draw was enough for Torquay to climb to top spot in the division but Stanley slipped to 10th despite remaining unbeaten in six games this season - even if five of those matches have been draws.

Stanley's two other away games in League Two this season saw them draw 0-0 at Northampton Town and Oxford United, and John Coleman named the same side that shared the points at home to Wycombe Wanderers last weekend.

Ian Dunbavin had to save a Chris Zebroski effort in the first half but Stanley almost won it in injury time as Andy Procter's header was kept out by a fine stop from Scott Bevan.

Stanley: Ian Dunbavin, Jon Bateson, Phil Edwards, Sean Hessey, Dean Winnard, Charlie Barnett, Andy Procter, Andy Parkinson, Jimmy Ryan, Sean McConville, Terry Gornell. Subs not used: Alex Cisak, Andrew Owens, Leam Richardson, Peter Murphy, Luke Joyce, Chris Turner, Rory Boulding.

Torquay: Scott Bevan, Chris Robertson, Mark Ellis, Guy Branston, Kevin Nicholson, Wayne Carlisle (Eunan O'Kane 57), Nicky Wroe, Lee Mansell, Danny Stevens (Lloyd Macklin 54), Martin Gritton (Billy Kee 61), Chris Zebroski. Subs not used: Danny Potter, Lathaniel Rowe-Turner, Kieran Charnock, Damon Lathrope.
