The visitors fell behind with just six minutes on the clock when Bobby Grant converted Jason Oswell’s left-wing cross.

And things could have got worse for Town, goalkeeper James Belshaw required to make two good saves before Grant blazed a 59th-minute penalty over the cross-bar.

Right-back Fallowfield then made the Welshmen pay 10 minutes from time, driving home a rare goal after substitute Jack Diamond’s cross wasn’t dealt with by the home defence.

FC Halifax Town were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at home in the National League by struggling Chorley.

The visitors came to The Shay for a point, and got it after a dogged display. Town couldn’t have asked for more of the ball, but didn’t do enough with it,

The first chance fell to Chorley as ex-Town loanee Marcus Carver’s delicate lay-off found Louis Dodds, whose shot was turned behind by Sam Johnson. Town’s first shot on target wasn’t until the 37th minute, a Liam McAlinden free-kick straight at the keeper.

Jerome Binnom-Williams and Jamie Allen both went close but the Magpies held on.
