The Tulips won 3-2 at Market Drayton Town, going three-up through Sam Downey after six minutes, Andy Wright after 16 minutes and Bradley Wells five minutes after the break.

It was an emotional day at Shaw Lane AFC as they hosted Romulus as tributes were paid to the passing of the home side`s Daniel Wilkinson last week.
