The Countrymen created hat full of chances with Kieran Watson missing a simple early chance. Ben Thornton hit the post after getting clear on goal with Watson also seeing an effort cleared off the line.

However, Hallam might well have lost it late on when they conceded a penalty but thankfully new signing Jamie Ingham came to the rescue, saving Matty Robinson's 86th minute spot-kick.
