Shirebrook were soon back on the attack again in the 9th minute when Farbod Yousefi was played in down the right as he got into the box and shot at goal Charlie English produced a brilliant save in the Gedling goal to keep the score level.

In the 17th minute a well worked free kick routine saw Joe Godfrey shoot just wide of the far post in the 25th minute Kian Tansley found himself in space in the edge of the box and fired just over the bar while Ben Hartley also tried his luck from distance but in first half stoppage-time.

Shirebrook finally broke the deadlock when the ball was played through to Joe Godfrey he raced towards the box and fired a shot across the Gedling keeper that flew into the top corner and Shirebrook finally had the goal that their first half display had deserved.

As the second half got underway it was Gedling who were applying the early pressure with Mykah Skervin and Oliver Clarke both having chances for the visitors however Shirebrook soon managed to get back on top and chances were starting to come with Joe Godfrey and Josh Tate both going close.

Shirebrook's best chance of the half would come in the 71st minute when after good work down the right from Joe Godfrey his cross found Kian Tansey who’s shot hit the woodwork and the rebound would fall to Trent Jules who could only find the side netting with his effort.

As the game went into the final ten minutes Gedling were starting to apply more and more pressure with Prestyn Moore forcing a brilliant save from Harrison Kissane in the Shirebrook goal while Orlando McDonald-Robinson and Mykah Skervin also had chances to snatch a point for Gedling but they couldn’t find the net and it was Shirebrook who claimed a very valuable 3 points.
