City though, would equalise four minutes later, when Teddie Lamb found himself in behind and he slotted his effort into the bottom corner.
Then, in the 27th minute, Trialist B was brought down in the box by a defender, after the penalty was given, he stepped up and slotted it into the bottom left corner a minute later – putting Chorley back into the lead.

The Magpies got their fourth of the game five minutes later, some good link up play between Cummins and Taylor allowed the latter to go through one-on-one and slot his strike past the keeper to net hissecond goal for the club.
The visitors got a late consolation goal through Jake Wain in the 84th minute but the Magpies’ lead was never in any real trouble towards the end of the game.
