The 1st team game was called off just prior to kick off.

Styal 'A' put in a commendable performance to draw with Irlam in an entertaining game. TThe match saw Irlam score first. Styal had a 2-1 lead at half time; Irlam were 3-2 up within 10 minutes of the second half. From here on in Styal managed to equalise each time Irlam took the lead ending with a late equaliser from Joe Knight after a terrific run past 3 or 4 Irlam defenders. The draw (5-5) was a fair result on both sides.

Styal 'A' opened the scoring when Lee Taylor took advantage of a Baroni slip at the back and fired low past the keeper midway through the first half. The game was an even, competitive affair with both sides creating odd chances. However, it was Styal who came in 2-1 down at half time after as they again failed to deal with 2 set pieces which Baroni finished off by finding the net.  The second half was another competitive affair and although chance were limited, Styal still had enough to have turned the scoreline around. The 3-1 maybe flattered Baroni slightly as they scored again in the last minute as Styal threw the kitchen sink at it in their efforts to equalise.

Styal 'A' never really got going against a more competitive Unicorn side. Unicorn scored mid way through the first half and Styal responded almost immediately with yet another Gareth Metcalfe goal. The second half saw the back 4 responding well as Unicorn piled on early pressure. Styal only managed to hold the ball upfront briefly at times and all Styal's midfield had a bad day at the office gifting the ball to the opposition as they seemed unable to string more than 2 passes together. Styal had their chances in the second half but Unicorn's keeper pulled off 2 top notch saves from Metcalfe and Adkin. However Styal's defensive resolve also waned and Unicorn punished Styal for not competing in the air at set pieces with 2 headed goals. A further late Unicorn goal probaly flattered the opposition.
