It was a long journey up to Gateshead for Braintree Town's fans but the Iron's players made it a worthwhile trip for those who travelled as they recorded their first Vanarama National League win of the season.

Joe Ellul's headed goal in the 55th minute proved the difference between the two sides on the day as Braintree secured a 1-0 victory.

Among those who headed north was Alan Stuckey and he captured some wonderful emotions from the players, staff and supporters on a memorable day for the club.

Huge thanks to Alan for the pictures and all are courtesy of him.

They're certainly ones for the Iron faithful to savour!
