AFC Telford United 0-0 Nuneaton Town
- Published
Callum Burton has represented England at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level
AFC Telford stretched their unbeaten run under new boss Steve Kittrick at the Bucks Head as they shared a second derby draw of the festive period with fellow strugglers Nuneaton Town.
In contrast to the drama of the 4-4 Boxing Day spectacular at Liberty Way, this time there were no goals.
But that was largely down to Nuneaton keeper Callum Burton, on loan from Telford's local rivals Shrewsbury Town.
The England Under-18 international made a string of fine saves in both halves.

Telford were without right-back Ryan Higgins who has agreed a deal to sign for Conference Premier rivals Chester. He withdrew from the Bucks' 16-man squad on the advice of his agent, who informed him that playing could jeopardise the deal. |
He saved from Tony Gray either side of the break, as well as two more superb stops to tip away Mike Grogan's header and Charlie Barnett's angled drive to extend their home run to three games unbeaten.
Despite their obvious improvement under Kittrick, which has seen two league draws and an FA Trophy victory over Chester, bottom club Telford remain without a league win since 12 November,
Second-from-bottom Nuneaton followed up Sunday's first league win on the road this season at Altrincham with another away point.
