Nantwich Town interim boss Marc Feighery earned a 3-1 away victory at Kidsgrove in his first match as Dabbers manager.
Goals from Alex Panter, Joel Connolly and Byron Harrison were enough to earn the much-needed road trip win.
It was the first match since Feighery took interim charge following Jon Moran’s decision to step down as manager.
The Dabbers had an early chance when Jarrett slid in Byron Moore but a bobble just before he hit it saw him scoop it over.
Nantwich deservedly took the lead on 35 minutes when a great run by Aidan Roxburgh fed the ball into the box and Panter was there to back-heel it cleverly into the net.
The hosts pushed for a leveller before half-time when Ben Garratt denied Stewart with a fine save at his feet.
After the break, Nantwich were on the front foot again and should have scored on 51 minutes when Byron Moore had a shot from a narrow angle saved into the path of Jarrett who put it over.
A Nantwich corner was then cleared off the line before pressure finally told and they were 2-0 on 65 minutes.
Brown made a great save from Moore in the build up but the Dabbers recycled it well and Joel Connolly swept it in for his first goal for the club.
And just five minutes later the points were sealed when Harrison was on hand to fire home a rebound inside the box.
Kidsgrove pulled a consolation goal back in the 92nd minute after both teams made a series of changes from the bench.
The victory leaves Nantwich in mid-table in 11th in the Northern Premier League West division.
Feighery said after: “It’s a very difficult place to come and we said to the lads before the game.
“On the night we were deserved winners and we could probably have had a couple more goals.
“It’s Jon’s team! It’s the same players, same system and the lads have continued where we left off at Stafford to be honest.
“For me coming in it’s been quite an easy and smooth transition.”
