Bath thought they scored the opening goal of the game but the referee ruled it out for a push in the box.
Both sides went into the break knowing the game was there to be won – it was a nothing half for either side with The Tudors defending well to keep it.
Two minutes into the second half and Bath’s Pearson nearly scored a spectacular overhead kick but his shot ended in a goal kick.
