However, Kie Brown comes up with the goods when Tim Sanders clipped the ball into Brown’s chest who riffled into the net to put Hanley 1-0 up going into the break

The second half was more of the same with both teams trying to get something out of the game

Lovely build up play from Hanley puts Tom Ashton through and with good foot work and a class back heel sets Kyle Stubbs up on the edge of the box who slots it into the bottom corner putting Hanley two goals a drift going into the last 20 mins.

The last ten were scrappy with Hanley trying their best to secure the 3 points, both teams flying in with big tackles.
