Egerton worked hard in the game but struggled to convert possession into goals. This was summed up in the first half when Ed Franklin burst through the middle, lost the ball, tackled to win it back and create a chance for Archie Phillips who let fly and forced a good save by the Frodsham keeper. Frodsham promptly broke and scored to take the lead. The Panthers battled to get back in the game and a succession of well delivered corners by Luke Granger created the best chances with Leo Buckley narrowly heading wide. At the other end, Egerton were defending gamely with Andy Price and Jasper Kearns in the thick of the action with the keeper picking up a knock to the arm for his troubles. After the break, Egerton showed their intentions to get back into the game with first Leo Buckley flashing a shot wide and then Archie Phillips almost scoring from the tightest of angles. Paolo Tabone showed tremendous discipline holding his position to break up Frodsham counters. The Panthers pushed and pushed with Leo Buckley and Isaac Bennett denied with last ditch goal line clearances. Just like the first half, Frodsham broke and went up the other end to score. Egerton never gave up and Man of the Match Ben Haselden went on a marauding run and almost picked out Archie Phillips at the far post. Eventually, Egerton got the goal they deserved when a good passage of team play saw the ball fall to Luke Granger who beat three men before slamming the ball home. There was still time for the Panthers to grab an equaliser and they created host of further chances but could not convert them to prevent going down to a narrow defeat.
