Tuesday's Premier Division action review

By David Watters

Nantwich Town moved to the top of the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League's Premier Division table on Tuesday night after a comfortable 3-0 win against Hyde United, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

However, the home fans at the Weaver Stadium had to be patient as it wasn`t until 11 minutes from the end of normal time that the Dabbers finally made the breakthrough with a goal for Liam Shotton.

The game was all but over six minutes later though as Elliot Osborne doubled the home side`s advantage. And Josh Gordon added a third with three minutes remaining to take Phil Parkinson`s side a point above Blyth Spartans at the summit.

Fourth-placed Salford City, who possess four games in hand on Nantwich, missed the opportunity to close the gap on those above them after the Ammies were held at Moor Lane by lowly Mickleover Sports.

A crowd of 690 saw Ritchie Allen put the Ammies in front after just 12 minutes. But Anthony Griffiths Jnr equalised just shy of the half-hour mark and the visitors held on for a valuable point.
