Hide AdTown had previously won 4-2 at Brighouse Town and 3-1 at Gainsborough Trinity, the second of those games having been switched to Thursday after heavy rain on Tuesday.
The visitors had a decent opening quarter yesterday but were unable to build any momentum in a stop-start contest.
Keeper Sam Johnson and Adam Morgan had to come off with injuries and Priestley’s header from a free kick settled matters.
