MOM:   Stuart Maylett   ( Handforth )

Dendy stay second  after securing a point against  Handforth but they must be wondering how they manged even that after a real Jeckyll and Hyde display  at Mary Dendy Fields. They were cruising  at half time  3-0  after goals from Luke Watkin, Martin Brunker  and Matty Morris  with full back  Matty Martin setting up two with excellent crosses but they looked a different team in the second half. Handforth poured forward and Dendy had no answers .

Handforth's Jo Reedy piles on the pressure

Kyle Skarratt was workman like in midfield and Jo Reedy caused problems down the right  but it was Stuart Maylett who caught the eye scoring a second half hat-trick for the visitors with Ray Beer scoring in between. At 3-3  there was only one team in the game  but amazingly it was Mary Dendy who  looked like they had snatched the victory when Luke  Watkin  beat Paul Maylett low at his near post with three minutes of normal time remaining.  As Dendy tried to hang on  Handforth deservedly grabbed an equaliser three minutes into stoppage time .
