Glossop North End 0-1 AFC Fylde
Attendance: 200
This game at Surrey Street was one of only four games in this league to survive the rain, but a good competitive match was produced on a very heavy pitch.
AFC Fylde dominated the first half and should have been out of sight by half time with the amount of chances they had, their pace and movement caused Glossop all sorts of problems and North End rarely got out of their own half. Ironically though it was a rare excursion into the Fylde half that led to the only goal after 20 minutes. A Glossop corner was cleared to Richie Allen who, from halfway inside his own half, ran the full length of the pitch to slot home.
The second half was a different story altogether as Glossop battled their way back into the game and never let Fylde settle into their rhythm. It was Glossop who had most of the play and created most of the chances, it was felt they were going to make Fylde pay for not finishing them off. However resolute defending and a great goalkeeping performance meant that Fylde just about held on to grind out the victory.
