There were two changes from the win over Redditch United with Jack Duffy and Stacey Freeman replacing Joe Burgess and Tendai Chitiza. There was also a return from injury for Luke Redfern from injury.

The hosts started brightly, and Ash Chambers received the ball from Kane Richards, but his effort was saved by Tom Jackson. Chambers then had another effort which was easily saved.

Barwell had another chance when Tyrell Waite fired a shot goalwards, but his shot was saved by Jackson.

Stamford took the lead after twenty-seven minutes when Jaoa Varela slid a ball into Jack Duffy, and he drove the ball across the keeper and into the net.

Then Deen Masters had a shot blocked by James Blunden at the expense of a corner. This was followed by another effort by Chambers, but it was over the bar.

As half time approached, Duffy set up Tobias Liversidge, but the Daniels man put his header over the bar.

Into the second half and both sides looked for more goals but the chances were limited in the opening period of the half. Both Lee Shaw and George Hobbins had efforts but neither troubled Will Highland in the home goal.

With fifteen minutes to play, Stamford were awarded a penalty after Duffy was brought down by Highland. The Barwell keeper had already been booked in the first half and now the referee showed him a second yellow. Barwell had no substitute keeper so former Daniels player Ollie Brown-Hill came on and took over the gloves. His first job was to face Blunden who was charged with taking the spot kick.

Brown-Hill dived the wrong way but luckily for him the ball went wide of the post. This motivated Stamford to look for a second goal and Shaw had an effort which went over the bar.

As the game entered the last ten minutes, the home side pressed for an equaliser.

First, Herve Pepe Ngoma had a header which was deflected away for a corner. From the resultant set piece there was a scramble in the Daniels penalty area before being cleared from danger.

Stamford attempted to counter and Shaw has an effort which was deflected wide.
