Cheltenham kept alive their unbeaten start to the season but were held at home by a brave Barnet performance.

The visitors had Ross Flitney to thank for a point, the keeper tipping Mike Townsend's header over before reacting quickly to deny Kayode Odejayi.

Cheltenham took the lead when skipper John Finnigan headed home a cross from JJ Melligan just before the interval.

Flitney saved from Odejayi and Grant McCann before Barnet earned a point when Dwayne Lee fired in from 30 yards.
