Banks’ header has the Spireites deservedly in front at the break. The midfielder went close to scoring three times before that and Quigley also went close. Dallas and Colcough threatening. Halifax have had a couple of ‘nearly’ moments.
GOOOOAAAALLL!!! 1-0
BANKS!!!
Chesterfield take the lead in first-half stoppage time. Banks glances in Maguire’s cross from the left. Two goals in two games for the midfielder. He had gone close three times before that. 1-0.
So close!
Colclough and Quigley both have chances in the box but are both denied by blocks close to the goal-line.
Stoppage in play
Palmer has taken a knock to his left eye and needs a new shirt. He’s going to be okay but play has been halted for about three miutes now.
He is now back on.
