Ecclesfield had a chance for a first minute lead but failed to take it. They were made to pay for it when Carter cut inside and fired home from the edge of the area. Jack Dickens then raced through only for his shot to be pushed onto the bar, but Southey weren't to be denied for long. Hopkinson won the ball in midfield and fed the ball to Elliott Fox who scored from the edge of the area. The second half saw Carty hit his second to as good as seal the victory, but Blues did get a consolation through Corey Smedley.

They were made to pay for it straight after the half-time break when Aemad Gadour's cross fell to Luca DeFalco and he finished into the corner. Joker then spurned a good chance to reclaim the lead and instead it was Stannington that went straight down to the other end and got their noses in front when Charlie Hobson's pinpoint pass found Sami Eric and he found the top corner. The scoring was completed when a cross was pushed onto the bar and it fel for Eric to put the ball home.
