IN their second pre-season outing, Alfreton Town recorded their first pre-season victory with a superb 2-1 home win over a very strong visiting Mansfield Town side on Tuesday evening.
In front of 719, Alfreton's hero was Grant Brown who headed an 89th minute winner to atone for giving away a 73rd minute penalty from which Craig Mitchell had equalised for the Stags to cancel out a 35th minute Ryan France opener for the Reds.
Brown's winner left the Stags browned off and knowing how Manchester City felt last Saturday after Mansfield beat them 2-1 at Field Mill.
Reds starting line-up: Stuart Ford, Carl Bradshaw, Neil Grayston, James Cotterill, Grant Brown, John Knapper, Ryan France, Tony Hemmings, Mick Goddard, Emeka Nwadike, Chris Bettney.
Subs: Gavin Saxby, Ian Askey, Chris Dolby, Steve Circuit, Lee McNally, Richard Carrington.
This Friday (25th) the Reds host the prestigious Derbyshire Centenary Cup against Chesterfield (7.30pm).

Just make the point that the Alfreton v Chesterfield match is all ticket. Tickets can be purchased from the ground this week.
Good Game, and the new signings made good home debuts.

Just to clarify, for the Derbyshire Centenary Cup Final Alfreton Town v Chesterfield this Friday (25th), the match is all-ticket, but it isn't a sell out yet and some tickets will be available at the turnstiles on the night priced at £6 adults and £3 concessions.
Kick-off is 7.30pm.
