It was just the start of a catalogue of questionable decisions from the referee who left both sides bemoaning his performance. Inconsistent at best. Witton had a chance to extend their lead after Paul Bignot allowed a long clearance from Chris Just before the half hour, Stafford were aggrieved when they were denied a penalty after Wardle bundled Brad Grayson to the ground. The striker was clean through and Wardle would surely have seen red had the penalty been given. The reason given for the rejection was that Grayson was not in control of the ball! Soon after, Grayson managed to skip past a couple of Witton defenders as he cut in from the right but fired wide of the keepers’ right-hand post. But Stafford did level matters on 38 mins when debutant Diau stretched out a leg to steer Alex Harvey's centre past Renshaw. Early in the second half, a through ball from Harvey gave Joe Cuff the chance to put Stafford ahead but Renshaw came out to make the initial block then managed a second save after the ball came back to Cuff. Harvey, Grayson and Diau combined well to create another opening on 53 mins but Diau headed over from close range. But, just a minute later, Witton were back in front as a poor header out of defence only got as far as Smart on the edge of the area and he struck a low half volley into the corner. Stafford responded well and were back level on 67 mins when Jon Moran hooked home from Dan Burns' header following Josh Green’s corner. Diau could have won it in the last ten but headed a foot wide from Jake Charles' cross while Witton’s final chance saw Isaac Baldwin send a free kick high over.
