A tight affair between the two sides took till just short of the hour mark to kick into life. Striker Danny Rowe took the lead for the visitors only for Tom Denton to equalise no more than two minutes later. Town kept the momentum and pressured Fylde. That pressure finally tolled when Denton got his second with just over 10 minutes of normal time remaining. A sending off for Fylde’s Matthew Blinkhorn in the final few minutes made The Shaymen’s job easier to see through for the three points.
