On the attack for much of the game, Sutton endured a frustrating afternoon at Gander Green Lane as they failed to take the chances that were created and allowed Weston-super-Mare to claim a vital point in their battle against relegation.
A point seemed the limit of the visitors' ambition, Scott Wilson left to plough a lone furrow up front throughout the afternoon, but they could easily have left with all three, Ross Worner making two fine saves either side of half time.
At the other end Luke Purnell, although never convincing when the high ball came in, managed to block everything in the first half although after the break he wasn't tested as much as he might have been as U's efforts lacked accuracy and became increasingly desperate.
