Woking 0 Guiseley 1: Emile Sinclair the star as Mark Bowers's men eye safety
Manager Mark Bower enthused: “It was a good all-round team performance. We had chances, Emile Sinclair and Liam Dickinson deserve a lot of credit for the way they worked together, and I’m pleased we are leaving with the victory.”
Sinclair soon worked his way into the area and unselfishly passed to Liam Dickinson, who was able to tap home.

Hide AdGuiseley could have doubled their lead soon after, when Rob Atkinson saw his header saved by Jake Cole.
Sinclair, on a one-month loan from York, ripped the Woking defence apart with a solid run, but again Coler was in his way.
There was a long delay when Shaun Jeffers went down and had to be stretchered off.
Woking would end up having their best chance of the whole match in the seventh minute of stoppage time when Giuseppe Sole turned and shot, but goalkeeper Steven Drench, who had a relatively quiet day, was there to make a fine save.
