Nostell Miners Welfare bowed out of the FA Vase after losing 3-1 at Congleton Town.

In the third instalment of the sides meeting each other, Nostell fell behind after just six minutes.

The Wakefield-based side were caught out on the counter-attack and Scott McGowan went onto score the opener for Congleton.

Sam Dobbs, making his return debut for Nostell, then mis-kicked the ball on the edge of his area and unluckily it dropped to Declan Fletcher, who scored.

The match was put out of Nostell’s reach on the hour as Fletcher converted a tap-in – his fifth goal in two games against Nostell.

In the closing stages, Simon Poole pulled back a consolation goal for Nostell.

Nostell Miners Welfare: Dobbs, Beaston, Allsop, Elliott, Donoghue, B Kellett (Johnson 69), Turner, Judson, Robinson (Tonkinson 86), Poole, L Kellett (Billington 33). Subs unused: Ball, Zalo.
