In the first five minutes Burnham expressed their threat up front as a dangerous cross was met by Liam Burgess and looked in the bottom corner apart from a great reaction save from Ollie Bowles.

Just before the break Ngandu rifled a shot on the edge of the box which whistled just wide of the near post.

In added time Bantick slipped in Stanley who side stepped the rushed keeper but poked the ball wide as the angle tightened.
