Ten minutes later Pelton’s Kenneth Ball is upended in the box, the resultant spot kick is hammered home by Alex Peake.  Pelton keep their opponents keeper Micheal Brown very busy for the remainder of the game his man of the match performance holds them at bay until 80^th  minute when Mark Addison’s strike  makes it 2-0. Sedgefield grab a consolation goal with an 88^th minute Lewis Brown penalty.
