Although the scoreline looks poor, Tigers put in a much improved performance against a Nantwich side who finished 3rd last year. Indeed, for the first 10 minutes, it looked like Tigers could cause an upset as they raced into a 1-0 lead thanks to good interplay between Pendergast, Du-Plessis and a fine finish from Craig Clark. Nantwich equalised with a 10th minute penalty, and from then on found their feet and went on to win the game, despite a first Tigers goal for Luke Williams half way through the first half. Man of the Match Michael Reece produced a string of fine saves, but Nantwich's pace and long balls tactics paid off as they recorded their second win of the season. Tigers can, however take heart - quote of the day from an unknown Nantwich midfielder "When did you lot get this good?!?!"
Next week sees us pitting ourselves against a Crewe Shooters side who lost 0-18 to Kidsgrove last week - here's to another improved performance and, who knows, maybe a first win!
