Town’s early liveliness payed off in the 5th minute as Liam Kitching, who was starting, having re-signed on loan in the last week, got onto the end of a George Thomson free-kick and guided his header to the far post where the inform Dom Knowles was alert enough to tap in; extending his goalscoring streak to seven games.
