A remarkable start to the game saw both sides down to nine men by half-time, with Selston’s Joe Riley sent off after just five minutes, Gary Breach and a Ruddington opponent sent off together after a tussle on 40 and then another Ruddington red card on half-time.

Selston broke the deadlock on 72 minutes when Dominic Airey picked the ball up 25 yards out and drove in a low shot which found the corner of the net.
