Stafford went ahead when a David Oldfield corner was cleared back to the Australian, who found Djoumin Sangare and he scored for the visitors.

Denham, who earlier brought a fine save out of Stafford keeper Scott Loach, equalised in style when he fired into the top corner from 18 yards.

Jody Banim shot wide twice for the home side, whose keeper Paul Phillips denied Kevin Street with a fine save late on.
