Shirebrook Town return to winning ways against Dronfield Town

After Saturday’s disappointing away defeat in the FA Vase, Shirebrook Town returned to winning ways with an emphatic 4-1 win over league newcomers Dronfield Town at Langwith Road on Tuesday night.

Shirebrook just edged the chances in a tight first half, but the final touch eluded them and the sides turned round 0-0 at half-time, with very little to separate them.

However, the second half was a much more open affair and Shirebrook raced into a 3-0 lead over a breathtaking six minute period with goals from Danny Claridge (56 minutes), Aaron Moxam (60 minutes) and Steve Wankiewicz (62 minutes).
