Shortly before half time, Jamie Shore went through one on one before chipping the keeper and shortly after the break, Rae completed his hat trick to put the Thornaby side seemingly well in control.

Minutes later however, British Steel reduced the deficit and ten minutes from time a volley from the edge of the area gave them hope of taking something from the game.
