But their lead lasted less than ten minutes when Spireites delivered a cross of their own that Joe Rowley headed in from 12 yards.

Stags could have regained the lead shortly after the break but Hoban’s penalty was saved by Spireites’ Dylan Parkin. The home side did get their second of the game from a 55th-minute corner into the box which was headed in by Lewis Collins. The young Spireites then fell further behind after conceding a second penalty of the game. Hoban took again and scored.
