The White Wolves went into the trip to Ruston Sports on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Lincoln Moorlands but took a slender 1-0 half-time lead through Rocky Rawlings’ goal.

The hosts, who sit second-bottom, pulled a goal back after the break, but strikes from Joe Marshall, his 10th of the season, and his replacement Frazer Chapman secured the three points.
