Quakers fell behind after just three minutes, when Dom Telford worked his way in from the right , and scored with a left foot shot that just squeezed past the right hand post.

Quakers hit back, and Cedric Main and Tom Allan were both denied, before former Gateshead player Allan levelled on 22 minutes, when he picked the ball up on the left, ran inside, and placed a low shot past the outstretched keeper's hands into the bottom right corner.

They nearly got a second, but Will Hatfield's low shot was saved, and Allan was narrowly wide from a driven low cross by Cedric Main.

Quakers went ahead on 39 minutes when Scott Barrow's free kick was headed into the six yard box by Jack Maskell, and Main stabbed the ball home from a couple of yards
