A 66th minute close range tap in for Mike Symons gave City all three points after a close encounter at Bower Fold this afternoon.
There were several changes in the starting line up and City were pressed all the way by Stalybridge but good work from Daniel Nti (who had come on just a minute before) and a cross from Tristan Dunkley set up Mike Symons to score the winner.
