SWINDON Town are being held 0-0 by Northampton at half-time on a difficult afternoon at the County Ground.

Driving wind has made things hard for both sides, but Town, kicking into the wind, have had the better of the chances.

Paul Benson has looked a threat whenever the ball has been played into the box, while Lee Holmes brought a smart save from visiting keeper Neal Kitson at his near post.

Wes Foderingham has also had to be on his toes to keep the scores levels.

Here are the key moments from the first half.

9mins: Lee Holmes has the game’s first decent chance, but Neal Kitson touches his low shot wide.

10mins: Wes Foderingham is nearly caught out by a wind-assisted free kick from Anthony Charles, but recovers well to tip over despite the presence of Kelvin Langmead.

23mins: There are appeals for a penalty as Luke Rooney heads Holmes’ cross against John Johnson, but referee Stuart Attwell says no.

32mins: Benson does well to turn and escape his marker before firing his shot straight at Kitson. The keeper tries to clear and Ronan Murray charges down his kick, but Kitson scrabbles back.

38mins:Michael Jacobs forces Foderingham into a superb save to his right with a well-struck effort.
