The hosts went closest in the first half when Steven McCullough hit the crossbar from yards out after good work from Ben Arthurs.

Chances were hard to come by after the break, with Tiarnan Kelly coming closest for the Swifts before seeing his volley tipped over the crossbar.

The home side end a three-match losing run in the league, while the Swifts remain winless in their last six league outings.

Bangor's losing run ends in goalless stalemate

Having weathered an early storm, the Seasiders should have gone ahead on the half-hour mark when Arthurs squared for McCullough yards out, only for the defender to rattle the crossbar with the goal gaping.

Dungannon almost made the hosts pay for that miss just minutes later when Leo Alves drifted in from the right wing, only to see his curling strike go wide of Patrick Solis Grogan's far post.

McCullough almost atoned for hitting the woodwork with a venomous strike destined for the top-right corner, but Declan Dunne produced a brilliant save to tip it behind.

The game tightened up considerably following the restart, until Arthurs, under pressure from the Dungannon defence, could only guide Iestyn Hughes' delivery over the crossbar from eight yards out in the 70th minute.

The away side crafted their best opening of the second period just moments later when Kelly ran onto Uzokwe's cushioned header, only to see his well-struck half-volley brilliantly turned over the woodwork by an alert Solis Grogan.
