The highlight of the half, however, was an amazing team goal finished off by the day’s captain and man-of-the-match Adam Richards.

The second half saw the Hawkes hit back strongly, but after conceding two early goals shortly after half-time, Town held firm to see out the game and put their promotion push back on track.

Rasen are now four points off the top spot with a game in hand after a great team effort and the perfect way to finish 2016.

They return to action on Sunday, January 8 when they hit the road once more for the trip to Ruskington where they will be looking for three further points to apply further pressure on the leaders.
