lose out

to Sale

Knutsford A 1

Sale West 3

KNUTSFORD'S poor early season form continued on Saturday as they struggled to contain their determined visitors.

Newly-promoted Sale West had a greater appetite and their hard work paid off after only 15 minutes.

Knutsford failed to deal with a routine set piece allowing Larkin time and space to score with a powerful header.

The home side rallied briefly and even managed an equaliser through Moss before half-time, but the respite was short lived.

Further goals from Davis and Hyde in the second half sealed the points for the impressive Sale team.

Knutsford will be hoping for a better performance on Saturday when they entertain old rivals Atlantic at Manchester Road.

Kick off 2pm.
