Minehead AFC and Imperial shared the spoils in a goalless but eventful match on Saturday, August 29.
With a depleted squad of 12, the Blues' assistant manager, Lee Hardick, was named as the second substitute but was not called into action.
The first half saw a controversial decision when Minehead's Nathan Collins was booked for diving after appearing to be fouled during a promising attack.
Moments later, Blues bagsman Toby Waghorn missed a golden chance, firing over the bar as the keeper rushed out of his area.
The second half began with Minehead needing a regroup as Collins, injured late in the first half, was replaced by Charlie Disney.
Captain Carl Paige kept the visitors in the game with a crucial save early in the second half, denying Imperial from scoring from a header that seemed destined for the top corner.
Imperial piled on the pressure, but the Blues held their ground.

They did fight back on the hour mark, but a harsh challenge on Waghorn went unnoticed by the referee.
The game saw no further clear-cut chances and ended in a stalemate.
Minehead's player of the match was Mike Graddon for his outstanding defensive performance.
Looking ahead, the first team will not be in action next weekend, meaning there will be no men's football for Blues fans to enjoy until Saturday, September 12.
That match will see the first team take on their historical opponents, Peasedown, at Irnham Road.
The match will kick off at 3pm.
Minehead first played against Peasedown in the Somerset Charity Cup Final just under 114 years ago, in December 1911.
The game, played at Yeovil Town's first ground at Pen Mill, ended in a 0-0 draw.
However, the replay a week later saw Peasedown win against a weakened Minehead side, which included several players from their reserve team due to many first team players being unavailable for the midweek game.
