80: Free kick on the edge of the hosts area as Wearmouth robs Varley and lays into Dale who is brought down. Dale clips it but it's tipped over well by Martin

56: Almost the hat-trick for Dale as the hosts allow Jeffries booming goal kick to fall to Dale on the edge of the area but he sends his shot just past the far post
