TWO Brian Matthews goal were unable to prevent a Northwich Victoria loss at Winsford United on Monday.
After his 12th-minute opener, strikes from David Short (penalty, 16), Samuel Marshall (53) and Peter Watling (90+3) put Blues in the ascendancy before the second effort five minutes into added time.
For seventh-placed Vics, who host high-flying Silsden at Wincham Park on Saturday, kick-off 3pm, it was a fourth loss in 10 outings as they became the first side to fall to Winsford in the Hallmark Security North West Counties League Premier Division this season.
