Despite continuing to press up the forward and some strong play from Midfielder Jake Millander and Andy MacManus, Tamworth were caught on the break and Wellingborough equalised to bring the score to 1-1.

After some calm possession play between Joe Wood, Ian Wagstaff and Carter Bradshaw, a break in the Wellingborough defense enable Tom Hancox to get a shot off and push Tamworth into the lead. 

Tamworth then set up defensively inorder to hold off a pressing attack mounted by Wellingborough. The defensive works of Dylan Waldron, accompanied by some more Key saves by James Miles kept them at bay.
