Quakers took the lead after 84 seconds. Charlie Lennon had already had one run behind the back of the defence in the opening minute, but he was more successful with his second involvement, when he picked the ball up on the left and curled into the middle, where the keeper failed to hold the ball under pressure, and Cedric Main stabbed the ball home.

Elliott had another chance on 4 minutes, but Callum Hawkins managed to block his effort.

Main had another opportunity on 8 minutes, when he turned quickly inside the area and hit a low right foot shot that went just past the far post.

Quakers had an optimistic shout for a penalty for handball on 15 minutes when McGowan’s corner was intercepted by the first defender, but the referee waved play on

They had another chance on 16 minutes when Lennon played the ball infield for Main to run to the edge of the box, but his low shot was saved by Hawkins.

But Curzon levelled on 19 minutes. They were awarded a free kick a few yards outside the area for a foul, and Jack Stobbs curled the ball over the wall and into the top left corner.

Curzon then came more into the game, and Scott Barrow made a superb challenge on Stobbs, who had broken away on the end of a Spencer through ball.

Quakers had a half chance when Paddy McLaughlin crossed deep to the far post, but Aidan Rutledge couldn’t get his effort on target, and then Lennon created space in the box and set up Rutledge, whose effort was saved by Hawkins.

They were back again when Rutledge was denied by Hawkins in the air to a left wing cross, and the keeper recovered quickly to save a low shot by Max Howells at the expense of a corner
