Hanley Town bounced back from their FA Trophy defeat on Saturday with a 3-0 win against 1874 Northwich at the NBe Brokers Stadium on Tuesday night.

In the opening minutes of the first half Lewis Porter was sent clear in on goal from a superb Jake Twyford throughball only to see his shot saved for a corner by the 1874 keeper Beddow. Seven Minutes later though Porter put Town ahead with a goal from a Sant corner.

On 23 minutes Jake Twyford did find the net, drilling a low freekick into the corner of the net after a foul on Fin Pattison. On 36 minutes 1874's Mwaliteta latched onto a clearance on the edge of Hanley's penalty area from a corner before his shot took a wicked deflection forcing Town keeper Lucas Knight into a brilliant save.

A minute later a cross from the right found it's way to an unmarked Spinelli who fired a shot straight into the hands of Town keeper Knight.
Hanley responded a few minutes later when Jake Twyford struck the post. A minute later Twyford had a great chance to net his second and Hanley's third, racing onto a cross from Pattison only to drag his shot wide of the post.

Half-Time:
Hanley Town 2 - 0 1874 Northwich:

Five minutes into the second half Hanley thought they made it 3-0 with a scramble in the visitors six yard box from a corner, the ball hitting the underside of the crossbar and over the line but both referee and his assistant waved play on.

Hanley's Twyford fired a shot from the edge of the 1874 penalty that was well saved by 1874 keeper Beddow. Hanley got their third on 77 minutes when Callum Middleton tapped home from close range after a Kyle Stubbs throw was flicked on.
