Matt Higgins restored Coalpit's lead with stunning free kick into the top left corner (3-2). Yet the lead was short lived as visitors levelled within 60 seconds from a high punt from fully 35 yards out leaving the keeper with no chance (3-3). With 7 minutes to go a soft free kick was awarded on the right wing. The kick evaded all the on rushing players to nestle in the back of the home net to give the visitors the 3 points (3-4).
Luke Burman was man of the match after another inspired display against a particularly dangerous opponent.
