Scholars took the lead on 15 minutes when Ben Lund pressured keeper Sam Lomax following a poor backpass and Langston looped the ball into an empty net via the under side of the crossbar.

At the start of the second half, Chasetown were a whisker away from a second goal. Kris Taylor’s corner was headed on by Ryan Wynter into the path of Langston who volleyed off target.

Bedworth had a considerable spell of possession at the start of the second half without troubling the Scholars’ goal.

With 10 minutes to go, Bedworth levelled after a mishit back pass fell to Tristan Dunkley. The Scholars regained the lead when centre back Ryan Wynter powered home from a corner. Chasetown were reduced to 10 men when substitute Mitch Botfield received a straight red for a late tackle on Liam Murphy.
