Oswestry Town open up a gap at the top
Oswestry Town hold a three-point advantage at the top of the North West Counties First Division South standings following the last round of matches.
Town kicked off the weekend schedule with a 2-1 success at home to Barnton. Steven Evans gave the hosts the lead two minutes before half-time with Michael O’Reilly adding a second on 76 minutes.
A late goal from Sam Horton gave Barnton some hope, but Town saw out the final few minutes to record their ninth win in 11 league games.
A last-ditch goal from Tawanda Melusi earned Ellesmere Rangers a point at Stockport Town.
William Wells had put Rangers in front on 26 minutes, only for the hosts to hit back and lead 2-1 as the game entered stoppage time. But Melusi then popped up to earn his side a reward for their efforts.
