CHERRIES continued their pre-season campaign with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against French outfit Nantes.

A late penalty miss by Matt Ritchie denied Cherries victory, although the Ligue 1 club were well worth their share of the spoils.

Ritchie lost his footing and fired over after Cherries had been awarded a spot-kick three minutes from time following a handball.

Cherries found chances hard to come by against their top-flight opponents and goalkeeper Adam Federici made a string of impressive saves.

Cherries: Federici, Francis, Elphick (Butcher, 90), Cargill, Daniels, Ritchie, Gosling (Carmichael, 86), Surman (Wakefield, 86), King (Costa, 72), Kermorgant, Wilson.

Unused subs: Matthews, Whitfield, Holmes (g/k).
