The Moles shaded possession and showed more attacking intent but the visitors had the best chance when David Smith's shot from the edge of the box hit the post.

Neither keeper was particularly over-worked and a draw was certainly a fair result.

Already missing top scorer Matt Baxter the Moles were dealt a blow in the opening minutes when Dale Marvell hobbled off, to be replaced by Nick White.

White himself succumbed to injury before the night was through, and the Moles also lost Luke Elliott before half-time following a bad tackle by Kieran Lavery.

It was a full bloodied game full of endeavour, but both sides struggled to retain possession, particularly during the first half when the only chances were a couple of efforts from distance from the visitors that failed to trouble Liam Allen.

The game was over an hour old before either side mustered an effort on target, with Park's Adam Pullen shooting weakly at Allen.

Chris Smith then flicked an effort into Allen's gloves from close range, but these were rare incursions into Molesey territory and it was the home side that was doing most of the pressing without seriously testing James Wastell until late on.

Ashby Charles's introduction for Elliott gave the Moles pace on the wing against the lumbering Matt Ward, and this was used to good effect throughout the second half with the visitors often doubling or tripling up on him to nullify the threat, often at the expense of a corner.

Ross Chalke had an effort that appeared destined for the bottom corner blocked by a defender's leg, and James McShane had two late efforts, one of which went just wide of Wastell's near post, and the second was superbly tipped around it by the ex Mole.

After Smith hit the post Allen pulled off a terrific save from the rebound, not knowing that a linesman's flag had already gone up.

Having played out just eight goalless draws in Steve Webb's first 262 league games in charge the Moles have now played out four in the subsequent nine games, and although their defence is now as formidable as at any time during his tenure, the sporadic nature of the goals for column continues to be a cause for concern, with Saturday's thrashing of Farnham followed by the fourth game in seven that they've failed to hit the net.
