Vihren Sandanski 0-0 Northampton Town

The Cobblers record a second successive goalless draw in pre-season as we begin the Germany training camp with a stalemate.

Vihren Sandanski were the opposition for the first test of the pre-season camp as most of the squad got a run out including Adebayo Akinfenwa and Jason Crowe, both of whom missed the draw with Brackley Town last week.

It was a strong looking starting eleven that took to the field for the Cobblers and Andy Holt, another to miss the Brackley game, had the first effort on goal with a blocked header before Ian Henderson shot wide just before the break. Holt had a goal ruled out for a foul in the last action of note of the half.

Danny Jackman cleared the ball off the goalline at the start of the second half while at the other end Leon Contastine went close but his shot was blocked before Constantine was replaced by Adebayo Akinfenwa. Akinfenwa had the last shot of the game with a late volley but the ball was stopped on the line and the game ended goalless.
