Nantwich Town maintained their strong pre-season form with two more victories in a matter of days, writes Liam Price.
Their latest win came away at Squires Gate near Blackpool where they recorded a 2-0 victory.
It was a professional performance with a goal in each half to secure the win.
The opener came from the penalty spot after Iwan Roberts was chopped down after a good run into the 18-yard box.
The spot kick was converted by a Nantwich trialist, who hit it high down the middle as the goalkeeper dived to his left.
The second goal, just before the mid point of the second half, was spectacular.
A corner from the right by Mason McKay was played in quite close to goal, where Bruno Cina managed to rotate his body and steer in an overhead kick on the full volley from the corner.
That was the Stockport loanee’s first Dabbers goal and an exciting glimpse of what he is capable of.
The win came just a few days after the Dabbers had made it three wins out of four in pre season with a 3-1 win over FC St Helens at the Swansway Stadium.
All the action was in the first half, and the visitors took the lead in the seventh minute.
A header came in that bounced off the crossbar and out to their number 6 who tucked away the rebound.
Nantwich equalised in the 17th minute via one of their trialists. It was a superb finish with the outside of his right foot.
A smart Nantwich move completed the turnaround in the 24th minute.
Good work down the left set up Ethan Hartshorn who had the simplest of tasks to roll it into the net from close range.
It was 3-1 on the stroke of half time and the same trialist got his second of the evening with a brilliant free kick that landed inside the far post.
There was a decent save low to his right from the second Dabbers trialist keeper in a quiet second half.
The next pre-season encounter for Nantwich is at home to Chester on Tuesday 28th July at 7.45pm.
