And the Wakes took full advantage to score three times in the final 21 minutes of the match through Henry Dunn, Zak Munton and Robbie Ellis.

A late leveller from Will Glennon secured a share of the spoils for Stamford in their 2-2 home draw with Redditch in the Southern League Premier Division Central.

Nathan Stevens was dismissed with the scores level at 1-1 after Kelvin Ibeneme had equalised for the Knights from the penalty spot before the Students scored four times without reply after the break.
