Wheeldon broke the deadlock on the half hour mark with a powerful drive from outside the box - but FC Halifax Town levelled two minutes after the break through the impressive Connor Carty.

It was then left to United to mount a dogged rearguard action against a revitalised Halifax side - with Chadwick making a string of fine saves. His best stops thwarted Shaun Hobson and Tayt Trusty at either end of the half, as the Pilgrims held on.
