Quigley goes down in the box

He wants a penalty but nothing is given.

Soon after, Quigley gets a shot off, it takes a slight deflection, easy save for Ashmore.

Hits a free-kick over the bar from the resulting free-kick. It was some way out so it would have taken something special to beat Ashmore frm there.

Booking for Boreham’s Bush

For a clear foul on Dobra.

Oldaker has a shot blocked

From around the edge of the area after a well-worked short corner routine.

Brilliant from Colclough

He bursts past Agbontohoma down the left and drives towards goal. He takes the shot on, but it goes inches wide. So close.

0-0 after 27.

Still 0-0 but Town have had by far the better chances.

Ashmore saves again

He tips over Grimes’ powerful header from a corner.

Chesterfield well on top at the moment, 0-0 after 11 minutes.

How did that not go in?!

Two superb saves from Ashmore deny Dobra and then Mandeville. The second is an absolute stunning save from close-range.

Ashmore is forced into a reaction save after Colclough’s cross from the left deflects off a Boreham man. Corner to the Blues.

Are pressing aggressively from the front and trying to force Town to go long in their play.
