THE Magpies bounced back from their weekend defeat by playing a winning nap hand against FA Vase finalists the Blues, who finished with 10 men on Tuesday night. Robbie Harris scored a hat-trick
Dereham made a confident start but Lowestoft tested Marshall in the eighth minute. He stretched to save Woodrow's drive, writes Rene Kendal.
Marshall then made a fantastic double stop to save Hunn's goal-bound left-footer and McKenna's close-range effort from the follow-up in the 17th minute.
For Dereham, Mudell's weak shot failed to trouble Rix in the visitors' goal, then Rix made a fine low save inside his near post from the same player.
Lowestoft launched a fluid three-man move in the 30th minute which ended with midfielder Woodrow firing at Marshall from 22 yards.
