Mossley AFC 4-2 Altrincham FC

Mossley played host to Conference North side Altrincham for a pre-season friendly. Altrincham fielded a strong first-half team and it was Kyle Perry who opened the scoring with a neat volley over Saunders in the Mossley goal. But it was the Lilywhites who scored next through sub Kayde Coppin as he latched onto a through ball to make it 1-1.

Half-Time: Mossley 1-1 Altrincham

The second half team fielded from Altrincham consisted of much of the youth team and it wasn't until the 71st minute when Mossley scored through a lob goal; to make it 2-1. Altrincham responded quickly as a free kick was swung in and the ball was hit across the box and a slight touch from Brown made it 2-2. Two late mistakes from the trialist Altrincham keeper allowed Mossley to capitalize and win 4-2

Stockport Sports 1-1 Bury XI

Stockport Sports entertained a very youthful Bury XI and it was the home side that made the early attacking play as they threatened the Bury goal all throughout the game. New signing James McShane
made much of the early running to agonislingly to see all chances go wide. The first goal came from an another McShane chance the save relieved that danger but the ball rised just for Jakub Warchyka to head
it home for Sports' first pre-season goal. The visitors grew into the game but offsides were going against them but they made their chances pay as they scored late in the first half to level the scores. Stockport Sports missed a penalty in the half as the goalkeeper rushed out and took down the Sports striker. Jimmy Holden took the honours but his soft penalty was saved with a good stop from the visitors keeper.

Half Time Score: Stockport Sports FC 1-1 Bury XI

The second half was very much an end to end game which had no goals, the main chance for stockport sports came from good build up play on the right wing from Warchyka and as he struck it a goal the keeper and striker Mcshane
failed to get to the ball and it skimmed pass the post.
