A match of few clear chances was settled in the 42nd minute when Armstrong used his pace to break clear of the Blues defence on to a Rob Atkinson through-ball and slot past James Beadle.

But it was the home defence who took the honours in the 1-0 success, particularly in the second half when Birmingham dominated without ever seriously troubling home goalkeeper Radek Vitek.
