The game was only three minutes old when Shirebrook had their first chance of the game as Ash Grayson played in Josh Devereux who tested Lewis French in the Glasshoughton goal.

A minute later a Josh Devereux corner found Ash Grayson and he saw his header saved by French.

Daniel Ramsey was the latest player to be frustrated by French as he saw his effort from distance saved.

But, against the run of play, Glasshoughton took the lead when a long ball over the top found Stephens to fire home.
