Town returned victorious from their visit to league leaders
Wythenshawe Amateurs with a hard fought 1-0 win .
Wythenshawe were first to create a chance and unlucky on 4
minutes before Fraser Hatton put a good cross in a minute later to
emphasis Town's intentions.
Michael Moss hit the bar with a shot on 10 minutes when the
official missed a touch by the home keeper and gave a goal
kick.
Chances were at a premium and a great battle was unfolding in
mid field .
Chris Mackay went close with a header at the start of the second
half .
In the Town goal Steve Birchenall was called upon periodically
and did well to save on 65 minutes .
Will Mellor was next to go close for Town , but as time passed
the game appeared to have 0-0 wrote all over it.
Town soon banished those thoughts when on 87 minutes , having
gained a free kick in the centre circle after a rush of blood from
the Wythenshawe player , powered the free kick forward and
JASON TITTERINGTON found himself wide to the right
of the eighteen yard area and hit a superb volley past the rooted
keeper .
Wythenshawe still had time to create one last chance but found
Steve Birchenall in the Town goal saving well from the free
kick.
Town well deserved their three points with a performance from
one to eleven that showed absolute guts and determination against a
strong Ammies side .
