Nantwich Town Women continued their impressive preparations for the 2026-27 season with a convincing 6-1 victory over Warrington Town Women.
Fresh from lifting the Leek Charity Shield earlier in pre-season, the Dabbers produced another dominant display ahead of their first campaign in Tier Five football.
Lacey Martin led the scoring with a brace, while Amanda Fallon, Josie Alderman, Meg Andrews and Alicia Hatton also found the net to complete an emphatic win in front of the home supporters.
The fixture also gave fans a chance to see new signings in action at the Swansway Stadium, with a number of players making their home debuts.
Nantwich earned promotion last season after winning the North West Women’s Regional League Division One South title, following on from their Cheshire Women’s & Youth Football League Premier Division championship success the previous year.
After the match, Nantwich Town Women manager Dan Mellor praised the performance and the progress his squad is making during pre-season.
He said: “It was another really pleasing performance from the girls. Going into the game, our main focus was our work out of possession.
“We wanted to win the ball back high up the pitch, stop counter attacks before they developed and control the game through our intensity, and I thought the players executed that brilliantly.
“As a result, we were able to dominate large spells of the game and create plenty of chances.
“Some of the goals we scored were exceptionally well worked and reflected the quality we’ve been building throughout pre season.
“It was also great to see a number of players make their home debuts.
“You can already see relationships starting to develop across the pitch, with players understanding each other’s movements and building those partnerships that are so important over the course of a season.
“The result is always nice, but the biggest positive for us is seeing the work we’ve been putting in on the training ground transferring into matches.
“There are still areas to improve, but we’re heading in the right direction and we’re excited to keep building towards the start of the league campaign.”
