Halifax got their National League play-off push back on track with a 2-1 win over Tamworth.

The sixth-placed Shaymen were beaten at home by Fylde last time out, their first league defeat since November, but bounced back against Tamworth to record a fourth win in five matches

They took the lead just eight minutes in when Angelo Cappello picked out Zak Emmerson and the forward tucked the ball home into the bottom corner.

Tamworth nearly found an equaliser as Callum Cockerill-Mollett had a header punched away by Sam Johnson and Jordan Ponticelli and George Morrison both hit the post in quick succession for the hosts.

The visitors were then forced to make a substitution as Jo Cummings was taken off on a stretcher in the 52nd minute before the Lambs went close again through Cockerill-Mollett and Ponticelli.

Scott High extended Halifax’s advantage with a strike from the edge of the box in the 79th minute and Tamworth could only respond through Nathan Tshikuna’s penalty in the 11th minute of stoppage time.
