YORK Schoolboy under 13s were kept off the scoresheet for the first time this season by friendly opponents Hambleton & Richmond.
A goal-less draw, though, proved a good test for the Minstermites prior to their challenging cup quarter-final meeting with Harrogate & Craven.
Early chances saw Danny Allinson shoot over from a corner and Rob Guilfoyle and Manni De Nobriga have further efforts well saved.
While Lucas Frankish, Lucas Wilson, Will Anderson and Nick Hutton kept the Hambleton forwards quiet at the other end, Robbie Simpson’s header was also kept out, as was a Joe Crosby attempt after a flowing move involving Hutton, Charlie Jebson King and Guilfoyle.
The best effort of the second half came from a corner, which was cleared to the edge of the area to Jebson King, whose first time shot flew just the wrong side of the post.
