It's a birthday brace for Dronfield's Cal Mawbey

Town started the game well, putting Westella on the back foot from the first minute, but it took until the 31st minute for Dronfield to open the scoring following some good build up play featuring the impressive Liam Bryan.

Bryan’s assist set up Mawbey to sweep the ball in to the net from just inside the area.

Town came out for the second half looking to finish the job off and on 64 minutes Mawbey notched his and his team’s second with a powerful shot that gave the keeper no chance.

Westella rallied and Rob Dodson scored on 72 to make the last 18 minutes interesting, The hardworking Jamie Willis was presented with a fine opportunity to make the game safe for Town but put his shot over the bar.

Mawbey then had a chance to score his hat-trick from a central free-kick but curled his effort just round the left post.

This was a better performance from Town who could, and probably should, have won by more.
