In front of a bumper crowd of 359, Town dominated the first half and then defended resolutely after the break, to remain level on points with Royston Town, who beat Hadley 3-1.

The only goal of the game came on 44 minutes when Lee Roache sent over a cross and man of the match Jack Nelly headed against the bar before Joseph Bruce turned the rebound past Nick Gardner.
