Chesterfield too good for County

Another Jamie Ward goal set Chesterfield on their way to a second successive home win as they ended Notts County's 11 match unbeaten run with a 3-1 triumph. Ward followed his midweek hat-trick with another smart finish when he was played onside after 28 minutes and went round Russell Hoult to celebrate his ninth goal of the season. County lost Michael Johnson at half-time and another defensive slip let in Alan Goodall after 58 minutes to beat Hoult with a deflected shot. The visitors at last woke up and three minutes later as Miles Weston crossed to the back post where Delroy Facey headed his third goal in as many games. County looked as if they might repeat their midweek comeback at Gillingham but were caught on the break two minutes from time when Derek Niven was foiled by Hoult before Paul Harsley smashed in the rebound.
