Quakers put the Linnets under pressure early on with a throw in from the left, but the ball eventually ended up in the hands of keeper Paul Jones.

Max Howells then put a cross into the box from the right, but Charlie Lennon was pulled up for a foul.

Quakers then won a free kick on the right which was swung in by Will McGowan for Aidan Rutledge to head into the keeper’s hands.

The Linnets won their first corner on 14 minutes, but Quakers got the ball away through Tom Allan, and then in their next attack Ben Hedley hooked the ball away on the six yard line.

Quakers nearly scored on 20 minutes. Lennon beat a defender on the left and floated the ball into the six yard box, where Rutledge just failed to get a touch and the ball struck the outside of the post.

Quakers then had a good spell of pressure, without being able to open up the Linnets defence.

They had a penalty shout on 32 minutes when Scott Barrow’s free kick was nodded down by Rutledge for Tom Allan, who seemed to be pushed, but the referee gave a goal kick.

They had a half chance on 39 minutes when McGowan floated a free kick in from the left, and the ball bounced off the back of Allan into the keeper’s hands.
