RECAP: Alfreton Town 1 Mansfield Town 1

Stags head to neighbours Alfreton Town tonight for their latest pre-season friendly.

They go into the game on the back of a confidence-boosting 1-0 win over Oxford United.

Our reporter Stephen Thirkill is at the game and will bring you all the action and reaction as it unfolds

Head over to our website later for reaction from Nigel Clough.

FT: 1-1 - A hard-fought draw there. Credit to Alfreton and some good defending which stiffled Stags.

Good work out though

Akins scuffs a close range shot just on full-time after good work by Blake-Tracy to cut the ball back. 1-1 (90)

It’s been a quieter night for Ben Quinn. He’s worked hard but not had too many chances come his way.

I’d expect a contract to come his way this week.

Into the final five. No sign of a winner on the way

‘Keep going’ - That’s the message from Clough on the touchline.

Decent spell here for Stags in the final ten minutes. The screw has been turned a touch

14 minutes to go and were winding down towards a 1-1 draw. Alfreton will be very happy with their nights work

Another sub for Alfreton. None for Stags as yet. 1-1 (70)

Ben Quinn glances a header wide. The cross was a touch too high.

Alfreton about to make a triple change. 1-1 (65)

Another header won by the commanding Flint. Plenty more of that to come as well

888 is the attendance tonight. No official away crowd but the majority of the 888 are Stags

Stags having to be patient here with the ball and probe for the openings. Plenty more of that ahead this season,

Both teams working hard to cancel each other out right now

Free kick is charged down after giving someone a good whack in the wall.

Free kick to Stags on the edge of the box after Nichols is chopped down (50) 1-1

No changes at the break and we’re back underway

HT: 1-1 and a good half of football there. Competitive and a good test for Stags
