Golborne suffer another heavy defeat in Gtr Manchester

Premier Division


Wythenshawe Town took on Rudheath Social in the only surviving Premier Division game at Ericstan Park. The home side were looking to move up to second with a victory in this fixture, while Rudheath’s goal was simple, to move away from the dreaded relegation battle. Surprisingly, it was the visitors who took the lead, a Michael Evans goal making it 0-1. Town then responded to bring the scores level. And that’s how this one finished, 1-1, meaning Wythenshawe leapfrog Knutsford and move into second.

Leaders, Warrington Town Reserves hosted Grappenhall Sports in the Cantilever Bridge derby. The Yellows came into the game just a point clear of Billinge in second whilst Grappenhall had moved themselves off the bottom in recent weeks, as they started the weekend in 14th.
