FC Isle of Man's unbeaten start to the 2026-27 NWCFL Premier Division season continued with a hard-fought draw away at Glossop North End on Tuesday evening.

After Saturday's 2-0 win over St Helens, it marks the Ravens' first back-to-back clean sheets in more than two years.

The first opening of the night fell to captain Joe Quayle after good work down the right by Will Cowin and Freddie O'Donoghue, but his shot went narrowly wide.

Quayle then turned provider as he found Cowin, but his shot was deflected behind for a corner.

With just under 20 minutes played, Kyle Watson was the next to test the Glossop goal as he crafted space for himself but saw his effort saved by Oliver Martin.

With chances proving hard to come by, Al Maitland went within inches of breaking the deadlock just before half-time as his header rattled the bar.

The final chance of the half fell to Dean Pinnington who did well to create his own space for a shot, which was blocked by a defender.

The second half saw the home side step up a gear, with Adam Killey - making his 100th appearance for the Ravens – making several good saves.

With Maitland, Callum Sherry and Karl Clark throwing themselves in front of everything, the Ravens’ defence held out well in the half and when Glossop did break through, Killey was there to keep the game goalless.

With 79 minutes on the clock, Killey made the save of the night as a corner fell to Jack Barnes, but his rifled shot was expertly stopped by the keeper.

As the game entered its final stages, it appeared that Alex Bowker would give the hosts the lead from another corner before it was blocked superbly by Clark.

With neither side able to find a breakthrough, the game ended in a fair 0-0 draw which leaves the Ravens fourth in the early standings.

- The side’s next game is on Saturday, August 15 at home to Ramsbottom United.
