Chesterfield 2-0 Scunthorpe United – Final Third Development League
Chesterfield’s reserve side made it two consecutive wins in the Final Third Development League by defeating a youthful Scunthorpe United side 2-0 on a comfortable afternoon at the Proact Stadium.
A goal in either half, both coming from defenders, earned the Spireites three points in a game that they dominated from start to finish.
Liam Graham got on the end of Jordan Slew’s low cross to open the scoring in the 13th minute. And Slew was once again the creator when Laurence Maguire got on the end of his strike to poke home from close range early in the second period.
The result makes it two home wins in a row for the Chesterfield reserves following on from the 7-0 victory over Gateshead last month.
