Neither of the returning ex Spireites, Marc Richards and Ollie Banks, enjoyed their Proact reunion.

Richards missed a couple of good chances and Banks was sent off for a rash tackle on Louis Reed.

The downside to the win was the loss to what looked like a serious knee injury of captain Robbie Weir.
