A late Nathan Martland was enough to give Ashton the 3pts and do the double over a good Maine Road side. His diving header in the 85th minute was the only goal of the game. The Yellows were reduced to 10 men when Paul Casey recieved his marching ordrs for his second booking in the 78th minute.
With no fewer than 7 first teamers missing this was a superb victory that kept the Yellows in 5th position.
