A brace from Terell Pennant as well as a goal each for Jesse Friend and Zak Goodson helped the Reds to statement win on Friday night at Farley Way. From minute one, the home team were in control and they restricted Alfreton to few chances from range.
After a couple of early chances, Quorn took the lead midway through the first half when Terell Pennant was played through on goal and he finished past the keeper nicely. Having already made a superb stop shortly before the goal, Alfie Roberts was called into action again soon after to deny Finlay Tunstall.
There was a longer than normal half time interval, as both medical teams and the emergency services dealt with an incident in the crowd but fortunately after a while the game was able to resume. After a brief five minute warm up the game was back underway and Quorn sprung out the traps while Alfreton struggled to re-engage.
Five minutes after the break Quorn had doubled their lead through Jesse Friend who scored with a fine finish before Terell Pennant got his second of the night six minutes later. However, just after the hour mark, the away side had a way back into the game when they were given a penalty. But goalkeeper Jake Laban dove to his left and kept Siya Ligendza’s penalty out.
Things went from bad to worse for the away side when Ewan Robson picked up a second yellow card for taking out Jesse Friend and he was given his marching orders. With Alfreton down to ten, the game was over and Quorn rounded off the win with a goal for substitute Zak Goodson on his return to the club.
