The Nash made a shaky start, conceding a corner to Worksop in the fifth minute, though fortunately it came to nothing

With 10 minutes of action gone there was no real goalscoring opportunities created from either side.

Into the 11th minute, Marcus Poscha went down after receiving treatment, the captain couldn’t continue and was substituted for Chris Stokes.

With 15 minutes on the clock Worksop had the first chance of the game as Vaughan Redford had a shot on the edge of the box but it went over the bar.

In the 26th minute, Curzon had their first chance of the game as Charlie Weston’s corner was met by Joel Amado however, his shot hit Brad Holmes and went wide.

With the game passing by in the final 15 minutes both teams were surrendering possession. However, before the first half ended Ben Darby found Tony Weston who drove into the box with his shot going just wide of the far post.

The Nash started the second half slowly with first half substitute Chris Stokes going down injured, forcing Head Coach Mark Bradshaw into a 55th minute substitution as Stokes was replaced by Jimmy Spencer.

Into the 65th minute, there was still nothing to separate either side with each team surrendering possession.

Sam Wedgury was the closest to finding the opening goal for Worksop when he tried his luck from range – however his shot was easily saved and held by Callum Hawkins.

On the 75th minute, Mark Bradshaw made his first unforced substitution as Crispin McLean came on for Alex Curran.
