Half Time Brigg Town 0 - 0 Chasetown

Not heard anything from the first half so have to assume it's still goalless.

A few scores from around the Unibond South

Leek 2 - 2 Quorn (49mins)
Rushall 2 - 0 Spalding (HT)
Glapwell 1 - 0 Kidsgrove (HT)
Mickleover 1 - 0 Carlton (HT)
Witton 0 - 1 Grantham (50mins)

GOAL Brigg Town 0 - 1 Chasetown

There's the breakthrough! Gary Birch with the goal and what a welcome sight that is.

No more goals at Brigg but one at Glapwell - Kidsgrove have just equalized.

Full Time Brigg Town 0 - 1 Chasetown.

Gary Birch's goal proves the difference as the Scholars take advantage of slip ups around them with another away day win.

Excellent result once again lads

Not as scintillating a performance as at Kidsgrove but i left the ground more pleased with that result than i have been about any other this season.
I have been waiting for weeks now to see us look solid at the back and grind out a 1-0 win away from home. The defence looked tight and there were no silly mistakes like we have seen on numerous occasions this season.
Against probably the most cynical team we have faced all season we battled from start to finish with everyone giving 100%. How Brigg ended up with no one getting booked God only knows! But justice was done and they got what they deserved. Nothing.
Man of the match for me was John Branch. Used to love see him getting forward in the wing back system but in this "new " formation we can see just how good a defender he is.
