Ashley Dunn plays a lovely 1-2 with Matt Dudley on 10 minutes and gets through on goal. He places his shot just wide of the post though.

Vics in the ascendancy, as Liam Martin jinks inside and hits one with the outside of his foot on 11 minutes but it goes wide.

No Witton team news available at the moment but former Albion midfielder Ashley Dunn starts for Northwich.

Halfway through the first half and still goalless. Witton have come more into the game.

25 minutes played and still goalless but Albion should be ahead as Joe Duckworth misses from 2 yards out.

Excellent move though. Have to be there to miss it! Albion beginning to look dangerous.
