keeper Rob Richards who put in a man of the match performance

Prestbury overcame Old Alts 6-1 at Mary Dendy after they finally managed to find their way past Alts keeper Rob Richards who put in a man of the match performance pulling off a string of fine saves. The match was evenly poised at half time despite Prestbury camping in Old Alts half and laying siege to Richard’s goal but Dale Peters equalized Jake McGarry’s penalty opener with a rare foray up field. Five second half goals including a wonderful curling shot from Nick Dobson, playing only his second match since his transfer from FC Woodford sealed the victory. McGarry completed a hat-trick and capped a fine display by setting up substitute Jamaine Leveridge for the sixth staking his claim for a starting birth in the next match.

Old Alts (3) VS (1) Poynton Nomads

"Old Alts however, are on a roll and a 3-1 win takes them up to fourth"

 Despite leading 1-0 at half time against Old Alts following a Matt Dunn goal Poynton Nomads left Crossford Bridge empty handed and remain with the unenviable record of securing only one win in the league so far this season. Old Alts however, are on a roll and a 3-1 win takes them up to fourth place after dominating the second half. A flying scissor kick from Nick Scholes pulled them level before Dean Duignan converted a penalty to give them the lead. Nomads worked hard to get back in the game but a second from Scholes secured the points for John O’Connor’s side.
