A Glapwell XI won the penalty shoot-out that followed Friday's 1-1 draw in the charity game against a Chesterfield College XI.

The game as a whole was an interesting one over the 90 minutes with Glapwell holding their nerve to win the shoot-out 3-2.

It wasn't a full Glapwell XI with several players that hadn't played too much in the opening few friendlies involved including the management team of Jordan Hall, Neil Grayson and John Styring.

Neil Grayson gave Glapwell the lead in the second half with a close-range finish only for his son, and former Glapwell player, Ash to level for the College side shortly after with a brilliant lofted finish.

In the shoot-out John Styring saved two of the College spot-kicks including the decisive one where he stood up to Scott Wharton's attempted dink.

Overall, it was a good game played in the right spirits and all for a very good cause for the Academy Africa charity.
