The match started as so many this season with United hoofing the ball up the pitch and generally not looking at their best in front of Northwich's brand new stand. The game continued in this fashion with United coming close to conceeding a couple of goals before they settled in and started to play some football.

The game quickly moved onto a higher level as United played the ball to feet with efficiency and pushed hard against Northwich to gain a number of corners. One of which was connected with leaving Dean Greygoose to tip the ball over the bar, and strangly enough, for a goal kick.

The inevitable break finally came in the 44 minute when a foul left Murrey Fishlock with a free kick from just outside the area. Unusually the ball was played low to Brian McGorry who slotted it through to Richard Leadbeater who edged the ball past Greygoose and into the side of the net.

After the break Northwich pushed hard but did not gain much ground as the United defence again held well as John Brough played hard, looking to re-establish himself in the first team line-up.

United, however, caught Northwich on the break and screamed down the field towards the shakey defence when Brian McGorry received a cross from the wing which he curled his foot around sending it looping into the back of the net for one of the more spectacular goals this season.

Northwich fought on though and Andy Quy was required to make a late save to hold the clean sheet and further extend the run.
