Tom Burgin did go close from a corner for the hosts 20 minutes from time but it was the Dollies who took all three points thanks to Williams’ late goal.
Brown’s men next host Workington on Boxing Day before welcoming Hednesford Town to Giant Axe this Saturday, December 30.
A trip to Stalybridge Celtic completes the Dollies’ festive schedule on New Year’s Day.
