Egerton found themselves behind when the opposition took full advantage of a slow start to take a deserved lead. The Panthers got their game together as Ed Franklin imposed himself in midfield. A good passing interchange on the edge of the box between Leo Buckley and Isaac Bennett gave Archie Phillips time and space to hit the roof of the net with a great equaliser. With their tails up a second nearly came straightaway when a floated cornered sat up nicely for Leo Buckley to hit a sweet half volley that was somehow blocked on the line and from the rebound Luke Granger forced a good save from the keeper. The Panthers did take the lead just before the break when Oliver Oldbury scored the first and arguably the best of a fine hat-trick when he flicked the ball over his head with his right foot to turn into space and lash the ball into the far corner of the net.
Having got Egerton back into the game, man of the match Archie Phillips was now in goals but could do nothing to stop Sandbach levelling when they broke and scored with a very well taken effort. The game swung from end to end with Adam Lee breaking down the flanks as Andy Price cleared the Panthers back lines. Oliver Oldbury restored the lead, losing his man with a neat turn on the edge of the area and pushing the ball past the advancing keeper. The opposition never gave up and looked certain to score on the break again until Ben Haselden appeared from nowhere to make a brilliant last ditch tackle. Oliver Oldbury wrapped up the win latching on to a well timed clearance from Mitchell Brown to poke the ball home and clinch his hat-trick.
Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Archie Phillips; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Isaac Bennett; Leo Buckley; Luke Granger; Mitchell Brown; Oliver Oldbury
