Barry Daly memorial - Pre-match - Dabbers captain Matt Bell shakes hands with the opposition (1)

Nantwich Town were beaten by their League Two neighbours Crewe Alexandra as they played out the Barry Daly Memorial Trophy at Swansway Stadium.

The Dabbers lost 0-3 in front of more than 1,200 supporters as both sides got their pre-season campaigns started.

An own goal and a tap-in by Adam Wilson after good work by Chris Long saw the Alex 2-0 ahead by half-time.

They sealed the win with 10 minutes to go when Sambou was brought down in the box. His spot-kick was saved but he scored from the rebound.

Barry Daly was a long-term member of the Gresty Road support staff and a well-known friend of Nantwich Town over the years.

He passed away in 2019.
