Town named more or less a first choice team. Lee Thorpe partnered Michael Boulding up front and despite some good approach work, neither broke the deadlock.
Town's best chance saw Phil Jevons bring a fine save from former Town stopper Steve Croudson in the second half.
Another old boy, Ben Chapman, played 60 minutes against his first club.
