Former Scotland international Eoin Jess bagged the only goal at Conference part-timers Tamworth on Saturday.
Jess struck after 72 minutes with a shot that took a deflection and looped over the wrong-footed keeper.

The home side included former Cobblers striker Julian Alsop in their line-up.
Alsop has joined the Lambs on a one-year deal after being sacked by previous club Oxford after a disciplinary hearing.
