A wonder goal from Dan Jarvis separated the sides on the score sheet; however, manager Kevin Wilkin was honest enough to admit that his side had come up short against a solid, organised team.

“They were better than us,” admitted Wilkin. “I think they had the physical edge over us, if I’m honest. We’ve shown a lot of endeavour, and had a lot of possession in front of them but haven’t really got down the side and around the back of them at all on enough occasions.

“The goal that divided the two teams is a fantastic strike. We’ve perhaps afforded the guy a little bit too much time but look, we’re splitting hairs there. It’s a fantastic finish which Joe (Young) can’t do anything about.”
