Droylsden 1-3 Northwich

Northwich Victoria stepped up their hopes of survival when they thrashed Droylsden at Butchers Arms on Tuesday evening.

The Bloods took the lead in the 12th minute when Steve Daly scored from the penalty after Jamie McGuire had been brought down in the penalty area.

The Vics leveled the affair when Lee Steele hit home from close range on 57 minutes.

The visitors took the lead seven minutes later when Joel Byrom hit a stinging drive into the back of the net from 25 yards out.

Daly went from hero to zero on 70 minutes, following his early goal, when he was dismissed for a second bookable offence.

And the away side made their numbers count when Steele added a third to cap off a wonderful evening for Northwich.
