GRESLEY are up to seventh in the table after coming from behind to win 4-2 at home to Rainworth Miners Welfare.

The Moatmen dominated the first half but trailed 2-1 at the break, largely due to the exploits of visiting keeper Liam Roberts, on loan from Walsall.

Roberts saved from Martin Smyth and Jack Langston, while denying Luke Edwards a first-half hat-trick.

He could not stop Gresley taking an 18th-minute lead, Alex Steadman heading in Eric Graves' cross at the far post.

Rainworth levelled six minutes later, Grant Ryan's shot on the turn leaving debutant Ross Atkins helpless as the ball sailed into the top corner.

A defensive mix-up then allowed Alex Ford to fire the visitors into a 43rd-minute lead.

Gresley equalised after 57 minutes, Edwards' clever backheel setting up Kieran O'Connell to ram home.

Eight minutes later, Edwards played in Brad Wells to make it 3-2 with a clinical finish.

O'Connell sealed the win when he diverted Langston's shot beyond the keeper to take his season's tally to eight.

GRESLEY: Atkins, Smyth, Harrison, Roome, Hanson, Graves, Wells (Grice, 90), O'Connell, Edwards (King, 88), Langston, Steadman (Mulonga, 82). Other subs: Barrett, Townsend.

RAINWORTH MW: Roberts, Coupe (Brown, 38) Andrews, Hannigan, Freeman, McGowen, Williams, Mitchell, Ford (Houghton, 59), Ryan, Whitman (Jones, 67).

REFEREE: A Dallison (Kirby-in-Ashfield).

ATTENDANCE: 244.
