The Panthers came through only their second game of the year with a well earned victory. A close fought match saw chances at both ends with midfield dynamo Ed Franklin in the middle of everything. Stand in keeper Mitchell Brown had his work cut out and showed his defensive qualities with some good clearances. Egerton’s best chance of the first half started when defending a corner. Leo Buckley picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area and ran the length of the pitch as the Diamonds backed off. His low cross shot was saved and Luke Granger was unlucky to see his effort saved and the ball cleared. After the break and with the advantage of the slope, Egerton opened the scoring after typical persistent play by Adam Lee closing down the Winsford defence. The ball fell to Ollie Oldbury who finished clinically from a very tight angle to score on his debut. The Panthers extended their lead, when a long ball from Archie Phillips found man of the match Isaac Bennett who made a strong run, exchanged passes with Adam Lee and was rewarded with a tap in. To their credit, Winsford never gave up but could not break through the solid defending of Ben Haselden and Andy Price to pick up a consolation goal.
