A pre-season ‘Nantwich Town FC Women vs Crewe Alex Legends’ charity football has helped raise hundreds of pounds for charity.
The match, held in memory of John Tomkins, raised £680 on the day and will go to The Christie cancer hospital and Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Police say they are boosting presence significantly in Crewe and Nantwich tomorrow ahead of the Crewe Alex v Wrexham match.
They say “additional measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of all those attending”.
The Alex were robbed. How can they have 6 minutes (plus 13%) added time on top of 45 minutes and then go an extra 1.07 minutes over the 6.
There were substitutes but that is the part of the game today so should be included as part of the match.
Former Crewe Alex player Oliver Finney has been charged with raping a woman in Cheshire, police have confirmed.
Finney, who also played on loan at Nantwich Town, is currently playing for National League side Hartlepool United.

A charity football match at Crewe Alexandra has helped raise vital funds for The Christie cancer centre.
The match was organised by Crewe Alex FC stadium announcer and lifelong fan, Andrew Scoffin, who is fighting cancer for the second time in 11 years.
An MP today called for action from Crewe Alexandra in light of the sexual abuse scandal which has rocked the game.
The BBC’s documentary “Football’s Darkest Secret” has been centred on Crewe where prolific paedophile Barry Bennell abused young players unchecked by the club’s management for years in the 1980s and 90s.
Crewe Alexandra have now issued an apology after the damning Clive Sheldon report into the scale of sexual abuse suffered by young footballers.
Eight clubs were named in the 700-page report, with the other seven including Barry Bennell’s first club Manchester City all issuing apologies while Crewe stayed silent.
