07 Nov 2024 | Latest News, Match Report

Macclesfield FC are knocked out of the Cheshire Senior Cup after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Stalybridge Celtic.

The Youth team got the opportunity to showcase what they were made of as all 16 players managed to get some gametime.

The away side took the lead in 16 minutes when Navid Nasseri broke the deadlock, after a cross from Jordan Burton found the number 10 who slotted the ball past Justin Griffiths.

It would not take long for an equaliser as Cynan Douglas managed to keep the ball in play, inside the 18-yard area, before finding Jamie Walker who scored just after 20 minutes.

Stalybridge would take the lead for a second time, in the first half, after Jack Tinning’s header from a corner hit the crossbar, before Joe Duckworth found some fortune and scored from the rebound.

In the 45th minute, the lead was nearly extended after Griffiths came out of his goal to clear the ball, only for it to reach a Celts player who hit the crossbar.

Despite their best efforts of defending, the Silkmen conceded with 20 minutes left to play of the second half as Max Leonard found enough space to control the ball, before putting himself on the scoresheet for the Celtics.

Macclesfield came close to scoring towards the end of the game when Freddie Savage tried his luck from 30 yards and almost found the top corner, forcing the keeper to make a save.

Spencer Yates almost brought it back to 3-2 when his header just raised over the bar from Henry McNulty’s corner.

The Silkmen return to league action on Saturday as they host Morpeth Town at The Leasing.com Stadium.
