The hosts took a deserved lead two minutes before the break when Ben Wright got behind the defence and poked the ball past Kevin Pilkington.

County then drew level five minutes after the break with a 25-yard strike from midfielder Gary Silk.

But Frecklington settled the issue with time running out as his low drive from the edge of the box clinched victory.
