Tonbridge preserved their unbeaten record - but didn’t hit the heights manager Jay Saunders was looking for. Angels shared a goalless draw with Bath at Longmead in National League South on Saturday.

It was a fourth match without defeat for Saunders’ side although that run includes three successive draws. “I was disappointed with us today, to be honest with you,” said the Angels boss. “There’s always positives in a game - a clean sheet is a big positive, our first of the season. “I just thought we never got going in the first half. “We’ve got a lot of energy in our side and we looked a little bit off it and I thought in possession we were a little bit sloppy, which isn’t normally us at home. “So I’m disappointed on that side of it but the clean sheet is a positive. “Probably last season we lose that sort of game but we look a little bit more solid which is good. “There’s still loads to improve on.

We’re four games in. We’ll take the point, take the clean sheet and then we’ll just have to keep improving. That’s all we can do.” Tonbridge worked the ball into some decent areas but weren’t effective enough in the final third.

They were largely untroubled at the other end, with the back three of Jamie Fielding, Nazir Bakrin and Ronny Nelson giving little away.
