An early header by Charlie Raglan put FC in front and the Reds never looked like being caught, in this potential banana skin at Witton. Losing early on in the season at Wincham Park was not to be repeated, as two Tom Greaves goals, not only put United in an unassailable position, but also at the top of the league. The Reds position in the league then yo-yoed as Alex Titchiner made it 3-1, before Michael Norton restored the three-goal cushion and FC position at the top. This was then repeated as Daniel Andrews and Matthew Wolfenden traded goals to end the match, with the Reds in No.1 spot and a comfortable 5-2 away victory. Although the win might have been temporary had Chorley not lost 2-1 to Ashton Town at Hurst Cross.
