City brought down the curtain on their frustrating season with a deserved win at Chesterfield.

Both sides only had pride to play for after missing out on the top seven.

But the 1,000-strong away following were treated to a decent performance from the visitors, who handed debuts to Jon McLaughlin and Rory Boulding.

City should have been ahead before half-time as Joe Colbeck missed a great chances after being put clear by the outstanding Nicky Law.

Lee Bullock also headed wide at the near post as City controlled the muted home team.

The pressure continued after the break and City got their reward on 54 minutes as Dean Furman fired home Law's cross after good work from Rory Boulding.

Chesterfield, missing top scorer Jack Lester, should have equalised but Drew Talbot fired horribly wide with only McLaughlin to beat.

That would have been harsh on City and they made sure of the points late on when Michael Boulding lashed home from close range.
