Match Report

BAY fell to their first defeat of the pre-season as Nantwich came from behind to win 2-1 at the 4 Crosses Construction Arena.

Matty Hill was prominent for the Bay early and he had a deflected low shot turned away for a corner.

Nick Rushton continued his fine pre-season goalscoring form, giving the Bay the lead with a penalty after a foul following a corner.

Nantwich equalised just after the hour mark through Steve Hewitt and secured victory with eight minutes remaining.

Injuries to Sam Hart and Dylan Allshorn will have been most of a concern for manager Steve Evans.

The Seagulls squad on duty was: Trialist keeper, Alex Downes, Danny Holmes, Lewis Sirrell, Sam Hart, Sam Downey, Nick Rushton, Matty Hill, Sam Turner, Lloyd Marsh-Hughes, Sion Davies, Dan Jones, Stef Edwards, Guto Williams, Tom Creamer, Oli Fiedor, Dylan Allshorn, trialist, Joel Giblin.
