It was a point apiece for the two relegation candidates at Vauxhall Road doing neither side any favours towards their survival chances.
The result was one which both sides really didn’t want as only all three points would do if they were to get closer to safety.
Marine made the better of openings getting around the pitch in energetic fashion however couldn’t test out Hemel keeper Mike McEntegart.
Tudors winger Dave Pearce came the closest to breaking the deadlock for the home side after meeting Ross Lafayette’s flick on however he’s header was comfortably palmed away.
It was again Pearce who tried his luck for the home side with two efforts which were saved before unleashing a superb volley which was tipped away from the danger zone by Porter.
Half Time: Hemel Town 0-0 Swindon Supermarine
Chances very much dried up after the interval in very windy conditions which caused havoc for both sides as they struggled to keep possession.
The best opportunity in the half fell to Swindon skipper Dave Bampton however he couldn’t keep his volley down after meeting Ben Wells’ header.
