Phil Senior saved from Chris Mackay and Andy Lundy at the other end.

Lundy and Leon Grandison both went close, while Senior saved well from a Chris Mackay free kick as Trafford started the second half strongly.
But Jemson slid home an Ashley Stott cross to give the Shaymen some breathing space and Billy McCartney's header with eight minutes remaining was only a consolation for the home side.for offside and Jonathan Smith curling another just wide.
