RESERVES' FORM IMPROVES

However, there has been an upturn in fortunes as they have moved off the bottom place and now are only in the two relegation spots on goal difference and with a game in hand.

The move upwards came courtesy of two league wins in March.

However, the month did not start well with a 2-1 defeat at local rivals Broadheath Central on 8 March in the Altrincham FA Senior Cup Semi Final, played at Salisbury Road playing fields.

But, the following Saturday, 15 March, in the league Alty won 2-1 away at Whaley Bridge Athletic. Whaley Bridge and Altrincham are vying to attain the place just above the drop zone.

The starting eleven was Jack Chandler, Rhys Cosquer, Kian Leckey, Isaac Mannion, Charlie Noble, Kaiden Powell, Remi Raymond, Vladislav Shtyhlian, Harry St Romaine, Max Whittle and Harry Watson> The only sub was acob Martin. The scorers were Whittle and Shtyhlian.

Altrincham recorded a second successive win,a week later, 22 March, when they beat Whalley Range 3-1 at Egerton Youth Club in Knutsford.

The Alty starters were Jack Chandler, Lucas Edwards, Kian Leckey, Isaac Mannion, Charlie Noble, Kaiden Powell, Remi Raymond, Vladislav Shtyhlian, Harry St Romaine, Harry Watson and Max Whittle. The subs were Kian Gonzalez-Moghaddam, and Joe Weston. Alty's scorers were Whittle (right) and Raymond.

Unfortunately, on Saturday 29 March, although Alty came back from a 0-3 deficit at half-time against Garswood United, they fell just short, losing 2-3. Alty finished that game with ten men after Harry StRomaine saw a red following a second yellow card.

The suqad against Garswood comprised Jack Chandler, Lucas Edwards, Kian Leckey, Isaac Mannion, Charlie Noble, Kaiden Powell, Vladislav Shtyhlian, Harry St Romaine, Max Whittle, Harry Watson and Joe Weston. Subs: Kian Gonzalez-Moghaddam and Jacob Martin.

DRAW AT CREWE

For the game there were "no fewer than nine youngsters aged between 16 and18 featuring in the starting line-up....

After quarter-of-an-hour, Crewe's pressure paid dividends when, following a poor clearance, the ball was played to the far post and tapped home to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

Undeterred, the young Robins side kept plugging away and drew level 10 minutes before half time, when Edson Cata nicked the ball off the Crewe centre-half by the centre circle and raced towards goal before firing a low shot into the bottom corner for an excellent equaliser" .

RESERVES REPORT

Altrincham FC has a report on the game in which "Alty's Reserves extended their unbeaten run to four games with a resounding victory at Winstanley, and, as an added bonus, first-teamers Isaac Marriott and Lewis Baines stepped up their recovery programmes by getting 45 valuable minutes under their belts.

The Robins wasted no time stamping their mark on proceedings, notching five goals in an opening 23-minute spell...

Marriott underlined his first-team pedigree by dancing past two defenders before rifling the ball into the far corner to open the scoring after only three minutes. Lewis Billingsley then demonstrated his predatory instincts with a hat-trick in the space of 15 minutes...

The first-half scoring spree was rounded off when Dion Bohe smashed the ball past the goalkeeper...

The second half continued in the same vein as the first half ended, with Altrincham squandering chance after chance.

Billingsley added his fourth of the afternoon...

Winstanley were awarded a consolation goal when a goalline clearance was adjudged to have crossed the line...

Lucas Edwards, from the under-16s, made his debut and became Altrincham’s youngest-ever senior player, slotting in at left-back for the final 10 minutes.

An Alty player of a slightly older vintage, veteran striker Max Pouncey, completed the scoring, converting a George Raftery cross"

RESERVES REPORT

As reported here last week, Altrincham Reserves drew 3-3 away at Eagle Sports last Saturday.

Altrincham FC now report on the game in the Cheshire League Premier Division.

"Sharif Islam turned provider after 10 minutes, breaking down the left hand side to flash the ball across goal into the path of 17-year old Loui Williams, who finished first time to open the scoring.

Islam then doubled the visitors' lead, winning the ball on the halfway line and bearing down on the Eagle Sports keeper before dispatching the ball from inside the box.

At 2-0 up, the Robins then had a disastrous end to the half, with the home side kicking into life and scoring three times in the final 15 minutes.

In the second half, the Robins regained their control of the game and started to cause Eagle problems again...

In the very last minute, however, 17-year old Sheriff Njie ensured justice was done on his senior debut by grabbing a dramatic equaliser to secure a deserved point...

Said Reserves manager Ross Speight... 'We didn’t match them for 20 minutes and were rightly punished for it... We were much improved second half. We created many chances, but it didn’t seem to be our day until Sheriff popped up with a goal late on'".

DRAW FOR ALTY RESERVES

They are now fifth in the league table of seventeen teams.

RESERVES BEATEN

In the second half, the young Robins came alive and scored three times without reply...
