Another clean sheet, a command of his box and good saves to deny Michal Helik and Jasper Moon Photo: Camerasport
2. Jordan Storey 8
A goal, assist and clean sheet for the defender who played on the right hand side of PNE's three-man back line. A good afternoon's work. Photo: Camerasport
3. Liam Lindsay 7
Another solid game at the heart of the defence. Played his part in PNE's opening goal against his former club. Photo: Camerasport
4. Andrew Hughes 7
Looks so at home on the left side of North End's back three. His display couldn't be faulted. Photo: Camerasport
