The home side took an early lead when a ricochet fell to an unmarked Alex Steadman who slipped the ball beyond Curtis Pond.

Chasetown pulled level when Nathan Waite was brought down in the penalty area and Simon Brown confidently converted the spot kick.

Gresley regained the lead following a mix up between defender Francino Francis and goalkeeper Pond with the former looping the ball into his own goal.

Chasetown almost levelled again with Liam Roberts making a superb near post save to deny Danny Griffiths.

The Scholars battered a nervous looking Gresley in the second half and Gresley defender Eric Graves excellently blocked a goal bound effort from Brown.

In the dying seconds The Moatmen went close to a third, catching Chasetown on the counter attack and Pond kicked away a Rob Mulonga effort.
