Congleton proved too strong for an injury hit Ashton Athletic team missing several key players through injury.
Jimmy Mcbride was forced into playing Gareth Grant at centre half alongside youngster Jake Brooks, also Joe Fielding was thrown into the bears pit after returning from a seven week absence.
But to be honest the yellows were their own worst enemy conceading a goal direct from a corner when looking well in the game and then a second while pushing for an equaliser from a mix up with Dave Moran and Jay Waldron with the later having every oppotunity to clear the ball.
We did have a Paul Hynes goal ruled out for a dubious looking offside and conceaded a third from a great strike from the edge of the box from Danny Bruce.
we should have players back for Tuesdays 6 pointer against Squires Gate & would appreciate a good vocal support for the lads
