CLEVEDON TOWN 0 CHIPPENHAM TOWN 0

A DRAW was not much use to either side as Clevedon remain in the Zamaretto Premier Division relegation zone and Chippenham slipped further behind in their quest for a play-off place.

Both sides battled against the heavy conditions as the Bluebirds dominated the opening half and had the better of the play, with James Martin and Lewis Powell both spurning early chances.

Just before the interval, Alan Grffin's 25-yard effort curled wide of the Clevedon goal.

The second half was far more even and both sides had late chances to steal the points as Craig Loxton fired wide for Clevedon and substitute Ben Highmore was off target for Chippenham.

Clevedon Town have announced a deal with JJ Sports Promotions Ltd which will see the company run the commercial side of the club.

The deal began on Monday and will see a number of fundraising ideas put into operation.

Terry Brumpton, who runs the company, is a former commercial manager of Clevedon Town and his company have a similar deal with Torquay United.

"Having worked at Clevedon before I do think there is potential at the club to move the commercial side forward," said Brumpton.

"The functions rooms at the club are excellent and I am looking forward to putting some of my ideas into practice.

"When I was approached by the club I didn't think twice about getting involved again and I hope it is the start of a successful relationship between the two parties"

Paul Guy of Clevedon Town said: "We are delighted to confirm this appointment as like all clubs in the current economic climate we do need a strong commercial department.

"We are very confident that this will be a good arrangement for both parties."
