Stockport Sports 1-2 Winsford United (FAC)

Stockport Sports 1-2 Winsford United

Stockport Sports played host to one of 4 all NWCFL Premier clashes in which Winsford were the visitors. Winsford’s prospects pre-season looked bleak losing around 21 players and their manager but their start to this match would suggest no problems which still exist as they flew out of the traps and were pressuring the Stockport goal. And it came as no surprise when the visitors opened the scoring as the on-rushing Callum Tongue (in net for Stockport) was beaten as the striker squared the ball across the goal for an easy tap-in goal. 0-1. The second goal came from a low cross and it was Winsford who bagged the half time lead.

The second half brought more out of the Stockport Sports players as they were chasing the game. The improved performance resulted in heavy pressure on the visitor’s defence and multiple threats from set pieces. After 70 minutes Stockport got their just rewards as the corners was whipped in an a goal-mouth scramble saw the ball cleared from the goal-line and the goal was given to James McShane. Despite constant attack Stockport couldn’t find the all-important equaliser.
