A James Dance double was enough to earn Chasetown FC the Bank Holiday spoils at Romulus.
The Scholars made a great start taking an eighth minute lead when Lee Butler curled in a corner which Rhys Thompson sent goalwards. A Romulus defender could only clear as far as Dance who netted with an overhead kick for his first goal for the club.
But the hosts were still a threat and tested Chase keeper John Bateman with a 25 yard free kick which he gathered confidently.
The Roms did level four minutes into the second half when former Scholar Mitch McDonald turned inside the penalty area and prodded home.
Chasetown had an opportunity to restore their advantage when Paul Sullivan was clipped by Todd Evans in the area. After a string of missed penalties, it was Dance who took responsibility and made no mistake as he sent Chris Gemmell the wrong way.
Substitute Lewis Rankin was a whisker away from scoring his first Scholars goal with a long range effort which beat Gemmell but came back off the inside of the post.
Nathan Waite had a great chance to seal the three points when he took on centre back Dominic McGarr, but the Roms defender recovered well to thwart the danger.
Dance came close to a hat-trick late on with a long range effort that was charged down for a corner.
