Chesterfield 3-2 Maidenhead United

Last updated on .From the section National Leaguecomments19

Ollie Banks scored a late winner as champions Chesterfield ended their time in the National League with a victory over Maidenhead in front of a sell-out crowd of 10,108 at the SMH Group Stadium.

The Spireites, having lost four consecutive games since sealing promotion back to the English Football League last month, were 2-0 ahead after half an hour.

Joe Quigley's fine work helped Liam Mandeville poke in from close range in the 28th minute before the forward got on the scoresheet himself shortly after, firing home after a goal-mouth scramble.

However, Maidenhead came out firing after the interval and were level courtesy of two goals in three minutes, with Tristan Abrahams slotting into an empty net after Harry Tyrer parried Reece Smith's shot and then Kevin Lokko heading in.

But after Tom Naylor had a goal disallowed and Armando Dobra hit the post, Chesterfield finally found a winner at the death when Banks hammered in.

    Well done Chesterfield. Glad they finally got a win since automatic promotion they've been in party mode. Banks super sub to the rescue.

    Good to see you back in the league. From a Swindon fan.

    After supporting your neighbours (SUFC) this season, the 10,000 crooked spirites have had a lot of victories to celebrate this season and certainly more than your south yorkshire neighbours.
    I hope it continues for you in League 2.
    Keep this up and you will be playing the Blades, Owls sooner than you think. GOOD LUCK for 2024-25

    Here's hoping the Rams go up today and Mickleover go up to the National North in the playoffs. Not been a bad season for Derbyshire clubs.

    Good to end with a win after an amazing season. We missed a few chances but it was an entertaining game with Maidenhead proving tough opponents. Maybe we won’t see some players next season but it was a good swan song if that’s the case. Just a shame Will Grigg and Coco were out injured as they may have found themselves on the scoresheet with the chances created. Enjoy the summer fellow Spireites!

      Great to finish with a win, Nudger.
      Congrats again, and very best wishes next season. I’ve enjoyed our posts.
      Looking forward to our clubs doing battle on the pitch again, whenever that may be!
      Have a great summer.

    Hope the chesterfield players have enjoyed their 2 month holiday to end the season. Another promotion for Paul Cook though, think he might interest a few clubs over the summer.

    Good season for Maidenhead. And Chesterfield finally best the magpies

    Great to end what has been a remarkable season on a high after a few flat weeks. Superb effort today from all concerned and apt to do it in the way we have secured so many victories in this Championship season with a late winner!

    Fair play to all the 168 Maidenhead fans bringing lots of colour to the game in an early start for a dead-rubber.

    The Ghostbusters were Chesterfields today though!

    Well done town after so many years in this wilderness of a division for ex-league clubs. Now to battle out of the dross division that league 2 is.
