Both teams kept up their good starts to the season by drawing a game that leaves them first and second in the table.
However, the match itself was a poor defensive struggle with little goalmouth incident to report.
There was an early opportunity in the ninth minute when John O'Neill saw his shot beaten out by Bryn Halliwell in the home goal.
The competitive nature of the game was summed up in the 14th minute when David van Zanten was booked for a high challenge.
The match slumped into a midfield battle for the rest of the half until the 40th minute when Aaron Conway produced a good save from Craig Hinchcliffe while at the other end Halliwell had to look sharp to turn Brian McGinty's effort around the post.
Just as referee McCurry was about to blow his whistle for half-time, Darren Sheridan saw his 20-yard shot deflected over the bar by the head of Andy Millen.
The best chance of the game fell to St Mirren's O'Neill only three minutes into the second half. His header from McGinty's cross rebounded off the inside of the far post. The striker recovered quickest but could only bundle his effort wide with the empty net waiting.
The remainder of the match was played out in midfield with both sides reduced to long-range efforts that failed to trouble the keepers.
