A goal in each half from Yousef Salech was accompanied by an Isaak Davies strike in the 86th minute which held off a spirited Huddersfield effort, with Leo Castledine equalising before a late tap-in from Joe Taylor.

Barry-Murphy said: "Really pleased with the performance.

"I thought we controlled the game for large spells, created really good chances, and I was really pleased at the end with that reaction to the second goal to see out the game in such a comfortable fashion which means it's a great day for us all.

"The only part of the game I felt we were below our best was in that period where they scored, we gave the ball away quite a lot.

"It wasn't easy, the conditions were difficult and the pitch wasn’t like it has been previously.

"It was quite difficult for the players to play the normal way and they scored and had momentum in the game.

"But I think we wrestled it back by having the ball for good periods again, finding our creative players and forward areas and scored some brilliant goals.
