Cleethorpes put up a battling performance to edge Sheffield FC at the Home of Football Stadium, winning a battle of attrition 1-0 to keep up their play off credentials.

On 36 minutes Clee were reduced to ten men, Jack Venny going into a challenge on James Baxendale studs up, with referee Ian Johnston showing the visitors' player a straight red.
In the second half substitute Tiarnan O'Connor went in high on a stooping Tim Lowe, catching the defender in the head, again Mr Johnston had no option but to show a red card.
The contest was settled on 72 minutes, a poor clearance from Jamie Robinson was picked up by Brody Robertson, who rounded a defender before curling into the far corner.
