Lee Brown scored the only goal of the game in the 60th minute, but manager Danny Cowley admitted his team were not at their best.
He told The News: “I thought it was a brilliant win, one of my favourite-ever wins, because we were up against it.
“We had a really tough journey down, it took nine hours, but the fact was we lost our central midfielder in the warm up, one of only two.
“That affected the way we wanted to play - and the boys had a really easy excuse they could have taken. They didn’t, though.”
