Injury-hit King's Lynn Town returned up with a hard-earned point following a goalless draw with Blyth Spartans.

The Linnets, missing Gold Omotayo, Olly Scott and Michael Clunan through injury, were frustrated in their attempts to bring home all three points against a home side fighting for their lives towards the bottom of the National League North table.

New signing Tom Hughes made his debut for Lynn who were rescued by the woodwork late on after Danny Barlow's header came back off the bar.
