Gainsborough Trinity, not for the first time this season, lost by the odd goal in five away from home in Greater Manchester. The circumstances were all too similar with Trinity once again starting the game brightly and getting in front, before seeing the game turned on it’s head, losing a man to a straight red card, before showing character and courage to get back into the game, only to be denied a share of the spoils due to a defensive lapse in the closing stages.

Gainsborough captain Nathan Jarman grabbed a point for the Blues as Trinity came from behind to draw at home to Brackley.

Blues boss Roma made three changes to the side which lost narrowly at Salford. Illness ruled out the electric Darnelle Bailey-King, with a slight knock ruling out Jake Picton. Matt Wilson and Jake Scott came in for them whilst Jacob Hazel came in for Gavin Rothery.

Gainsborough secured their first win of the season as two second half goals capped a good performance from Dominic Roma's men. Ashley Worsfold opened the scoring just after the break before Gavin Rothery sealed the win with a late tap in. It was a much better display from the Blues and one that put to bed the three defeats in a row. The Blues were defensively sound and finally got that rub of the green in front of goal that Trinity boss Roma said 'would even itself out over the season'.

Ashley Worsfold grabbed a second half double to make it seven points from the last three home games as Trinity swept aside AFC Telford.

The former Alfreton striker had already seen a penalty saved by the time he notched his first, sweeping home a Jordan Thewlis cross to make it 2-0 after the hour. Telford did pull a goal back to make it a touch nervy until the lack of players took its toll.
