Although the unbeaten run now stretches to 7 games it was definitely a case of 2 points dropped on Saturday after the Reds were held to a 1-1 draw away at Stockport Georgians in the Midland League

Manager Jayson Starkey handed a debut to new signing Daniel Cocks and a partnership between Dan and left back Matty Lay was in evident from the get go, with the majority of the good play coming down that side from both players. The Reds would dominate the opening passage of play and spurned some great chances to opening the scoring, with Ollie Holden missing the best chance of this period and were made to pay on 22 minutes when a long ball over the top caught out Freddie Bishton and Josh Madeley to find Lucas Berry who was able to fire past Jack Sheward

The Reds would eventually get back into the game as a shot from Cocks deflected over Morgan Piper in the home goal to get the lads back into the game. Moments later a flashpoint changed the game as Will Wareing was shown a straight Red after an altercation with Cocks

This seemed to galvanise the home players just in the same way it did for the Reds a few weeks ago at Runcorn. Seconds into the 2nd half the hosts rattled the crossbar when Berry was set free again with a long ball over the top which wasn't dealt with and his shot bound effort canned back off the upright. For the next 45 minutes the Reds would pepper the home goal and create chance after chance, but nothing would go in against a resolute home defence

Positives from the game would be that the unbeaten runs continues but with all the teams around and below the Reds winning, these dropped points could prove costly at the end of the season
