The UCL Division One hosts took the lead through Robbie Ellis in the first half before Lee Beeson drew the Poachers level.

Beeson, who had already seen a penalty saved following a foul on Richard Ford, made no mistake as he curled home a free kick.

Luke White handed Premier Division Town the lead minutes into the second half following a goalmouth scramble before adding his second of the night, getting the final touch following a Poachers corner.

With 10 minutes to go Stones pulled themselves back into the contest.

Travis Portas saved a penalty but Ellis slotted home the rebound.
