Chasetown started brightly and a header from Danny Edwards flashed wide before an acrobatic overhead kick from Edwards beat goalkeeper David Reay but came back off the post.

Nick Turton was inches wide with a right foot drive as Chasetown looked for the vital breakthrough.

As news filtered through that promotion rivals Lincoln were winning against Rugby the need for The Scholars to score intensified.

Centre back Henry Eze had a great chance midway through the half but fired a whisker wide of the post.

Chasetown committed men forward in the hope of keeping their promotion bid alive but got caught on the break and Scott Ruthven drilled the ball past John Bateman to give Park Steels the lead.

The home side almost levelled when Marco Adaggio fired over the bar from close range and then Reay made a stunning save to deny substitute Kev Hemagou.
