Defending the southern Western Road end in the first half, visitors Stanton took a 20th minute lead. Dean Brunell hit a powerful right-foot volley from the edge of the area past Daryl Beeston into the bottom-right corner from Kevin Parkes’ right-wing cross.
The home side levelled things up just after the half-hour through Dave Harris who headed home Dave Wall’s deep right-wing cross.
Mickleover’s winner came in the 76th minute. Phil Bailey fouled Mick Taplin inside the area and Taplin himself sent the resulting penalty into the right-side of the net.
The football pitch at the Ypres Lodge Ground occupied part of the larger cricket ground’s outfield. With no lights, both sides of the pitch were railed off with the ends roped off.
