In a game that saw the home side put so much into their performance it was a case of missed chances and for Town thanks go to keeper Tinsley in goal, the woodwork and debutant Liam Molloy. It was typical game that was all square after 45 minutes saw Cheadle press forward for much of the second period but the woodwork and an inspired performance from Connor Tinsley produced 3 breakaway goals that swept away the missed chances for the home side. Rresolute defending and clinical finishing from Town but Cheadle probably had enough chances to have won the game by the same margin.

Cheadle took the lead after 5 mins with Sam Noar lashing a loose ball in the box home with conviction and it looked like the game was only going to end one way. But Town showed grit and determination to get back in the game and started to threaten the Cheadle goal. The equaliser game on 38 minutes when Rich Litchfield raced onto a neat through ball to fire fast the home keeper. Two minutes later Town should have scored again as the referee saw a push in the box and Litchfield stepped up the take the spot kick but the keeper flew to his left to save at full stretch and the score level at half time.

The second half started with home side on the front foot again but it was Town that took the lead on 52 minutes when Callum Graybrook cut across the box to fire home past the keeper via what looked like a thwarting deflection. Chealde scorer Noar then saw Town keeper Tinsley deny him twice and follow that up with a string of fine saves before Town broke away and score thanks to a Graybrook cross from the right that found Molloy who headed in at the far post on 69 minutes. Amazingly the bar denied Cheadle twice in quick succession before a quality piece of football in the final minutes saw Molloy fire home after an unselfish assist by Dave Hartshorn.

The second half produced a rather harsh score line on the home side but take nothing away from a young Oswestry side that rode their lick at times but took their chances in front of goal well.
Manager Dan Stevens said "A good shift from all the lads. Plenty of of them showed huge character and bodes well for competition for places in the team.the same effort and attitude in Tuesdays game and we should do well on Tuesday night."
