Top of the table Whaley welcomed second placed Wythenshawe Town to Horwich Pak on a fantastic spring day and with a terrific crowd to match the occasion.

This was a good game, played on a heavy pitch, and with both teams still looking to have a real impact on the final table the game started at a high tempo each trying to lay down early markers on how the game should pan out. So for the first 20 minutes or so it was nip and tuck, neither creating any really clear cut chances.

Whaley started the game very positively, playing some excellent football and retaining possession high up the pitch in the Eagle half. Streets and Barlow keeping the tempo high with much of the controlled football coming from their interaction with wide players Gregory & Gemmill.
