Here are our player ratings from the game..
1. Ryan Boot 8
Ryan Boot 8 His first league start of the season and he recorded a clean sheet. He was called into action early doors, tipping a Whalley free-kick around the post. Held a decent drive from Brown in the second 45 before making a vital one-on-one save from Walton and then he tipped over from Woods moments later. No dramas. Photo: Tina Jenner
2. Sam Curtis 7
Sam Curtis 7 Improved from his last two outings. He was useful in the tackle, calm under pressure and supported attacks. Played a part in the opener, linking up with Naylor, and made a great block in the last seconds. Photo: Submitted
