Stamford boss Graham Drury said: “I didn’t over-celebrate on Tuesday as it was only half-time as far as the play-offs are concerned.

“We will get our minds right again, It’s now a one-match shootout.”

Stamford will put their faith in their rock-like defence and in-form goalkeeper Dan Haystead as they seek Premier Division football for the first time in three seasons.
