Rudheath Social 3-1 Poynton (Presidents Cup)

Rudheath social finished 3-1 winners at home against Poynton. Rudheath took the lead through a Gary Bryning penalty in the 30th minute, despite Poynton having the majority of possession.

The second half saw Rudheath take a foot hold in the game and set themselves up in a way that Poynton found them difficult to break down. A mistake at the back led to Paul Allcock collecting the ball and rounding the keeper for 2-0. Soon after, Poynton's Paul Garner was fouled in the area, leaving Mark Faulkner to convert from the penalty spot.

This caused Poynton to surge forward and put real pressure on the home side as the game reached the closing stages, however another lapse in concentration left Allcock in front of goal again, knocking it past the keeper to put Rudheath through to the next round.
