Subs not used: Winn, IAnson Match Action 5 mins: Louie Soares works some space on the left-hand side of the box but his fizzing effort goes just wide of the target. 7 mins: A clever lofted ball from Elding releases Hearn but, from a narrow angle, the Town striker is denied by the feet of home stopper Jonathan Hedge. 19 mins: Bradley Woods deep cross finds Elding at the back post and his header across the face of goal is touched on by Hearn but Hedge manages to turn it over the crossbar. 21 mins: Andrew Wright heads down Michael Coulsons corner but Hearn cant force the ball home from close-range. 24 mins: Left-back Conor Townsend embarks on a mazy run through the centre of the Tamworth defence and is unlucky to see his left-foot shot go just wide of the far post. 40 mins: Hedge acrobatically tips away a half-volley from Shaun Pearson following another corner from Coulson. 42 mins: Hearn works an angle for an opening but is again denied by Hedge as Town continue to pressure. 43 mins: James McKeowns first save of the evening is an important one as he keeps out a powerful shot from Jean-Paul Marna. 47 mins: George Baldock tricks the visiting defence before aiming for the top corner but McKeown is there to tip over in fine fashion. 58 mins: OFF THE POST! Townsends ball over the top runs for Hearn, who outmuscles his marker, but sees his shot come back off the foot of the post. 61 mins: GOAL! Town finally take the lead when a deep corner from Coulson is met by a powerful header from Ian Miller and Hearn is on hand to add the finishing touches from almost on the goalline.

67 mins: GOAL! The hosts equalise after the Mariners fail to deal with a cross from the right and Connor Taylor is quickest to react and slam home from six yards. 84 mins: Substitute Kiernan Hughes-Mason embarks upon another lively run but this time Hedge manages to keep out his curling effort from just inside the area.
