Guiseley 2 Nantwich Town 1

The Lions came from behind to win a little cosily in the end.

Starting slowly they could have been a couple down before the visitors took the lead on 9 minutes. At that stage c the Lions looks all at sea at the back and couldn’t match their youthful poppy for energy levels.

The game scrappy and a little feisty with few clear cut chances but slowly Guiseley started to pose a threat and late in the half Kellett pounced on a rebound to put the Lions level.

It was much better from the word go in the second half and Lewis Whitham worked himself an opening to fire past the Nantwich keeper after 48 minutes to score what proved the winning goal.

The Lions created numerous opportunities to seal the game but a couple of efforts were blocked and others headed over the bar. The visitors ran out of steam and didn’t seriously threaten an equaliser.

All in all a satisfactory performance and a precious 3 points but we need to address our sluggish starts as better teams will punish us more clinically.
