Peterborough United have held Ipswich Town to a 0-0 draw in a pre-season friendly.

With the new season just two weeks away both sides fought hard for the win, but neither team managed to find a breakthrough.

In a open first half, both sides had chances as Ipswich went close though David McGoldrick's low effort, while Peterborough's Michael Bostwick drove a shot marginally wide.

Former West Ham United midfielder Jack Collison proved to be a threat for the Posh throughout the first half, and he had two goalbound efforts blocked by desperate Ipswich defending.

The Tractor Boys went close to taking the lead after the break as Irishman Adam McDonnell struck the inside of the post with a lofted effort.

Mick McCarthy's men continued to push hard as Josh Yorweth headed marginally wide, but the game drifted to the end as both teams made multiple substitutions.
