Apologies for the lack of information before and during the game due to technical issues.
I’ll try and summarise as best as I can.

New signing from Newcastle Town, Ryan Baxter makes his debut whilst fellow new recruits Ben Hough on loan from Ashton United & Liam Kennington on dual-registration from Runcorn Town, start on the bench with Lee Jackson dropping down to the bench.

Upto sixth in the table and only outside the play offs on goal difference.
Highlights of the game are available below.
Though we dominated the first half, playing a lot of nice football, but unfortunately without creating many clear chances.
They came into the game a little more in the second half and Ollie had to make a couple of fantastic saves to ensure we kept a clean sheet.
Our goal was direct from a fantastic corner from Jim Lawrie that their keeper and defenders weren’t able to deal with.
Another win from a tight game, with the added bonus of no apparent new injuries and no red or yellow cards for Witton players.
Watching the highlights of the game, I was HUGELY impressed with the quality of football we are playing.
This squad is getting better and better
Onwards and upwards! UTA
