The winner came after 27 minutes, Alex Whittle firing in at the back post after Aldershot ‘keeper Mitch Walker failed to deal with Jack Clarke’s cross.
The Blues had to dig deep after the break as the hosts pushed for an equaliser but they could not find a way through a resolute away defence.

5. Laurence Maguire 8
Captained the side to another win and clean sheet. Stood up strong to everything Aldershot threw at him. Some big headers. Back three were immense. Photo: Dean Atkins
6. Alex Whittle 8
His first goal for the club proved to be the winner. He smashed the ball in at the far post with Aldershot 'keeper Mitch Walker stranded after an earlier mistake. Overall he was just very good. Photo: Dean Atkins
7. Curtis Weston 8
Weston worked his socks off. He produced some timely interceptions and got his body between ball and man in the second-half. As James Rowe said after the game, Weston did very well with second contacts when the ball dropped down. Photo: jason chadwick
8. Martin Smith 7
Smith was excellent in the first-half. He saw a lot of the ball and dictated play from the halfway line. He wasn't able to do that after the break but he can be happy with his performance. Photo: Michael South
