PURPLE PAIN FOR COASTERS

TITLE favorites Chesterfield were full of goals against AFC Fylde as they ran out handsome winners at Mill Farm.

A crowd of 2,395 saw the Coasters’ first home game back in the fifth tier as first-half goals from Tyrone Williams, Liam Mandeville and Will Grigg put Chesterfield in command at half-time.

Ryan Colclough added a fourth shortly following the restart before Jon Ustabasi and Harry Davis pulled two back late in the clash on a difficult day for Adam Murray’s men.

It took just six minutes for the game to see its first goal, and it came after Colclough won a corner.

After the corner came into the 18-yard box and the Coasters cleared, Ollie Banks raced out wide and crossed in, where Williams was waiting to stick a leg out and scramble in.
