It was all going so well for Town after Will Grigg opened the scoring on 52 minutes.
But it didn’t go to plan after that with Matlock coming from behind to win with two goals from two trialists.
The game was watched by a sold-out crowd with Spireites fans filling out the ground. On hand was phootgrapher Tina Jenner to capture pictures of just some of the Spireites fans who watched on.
