Colin Clarke then was involved in a collision with one of his own players which consequently ended with Clarke having a golf ball like swelling on his right cheek.

 

Clarke played on to see his team push for more goals. Jon Franklin scored from a Wayne O'Shea corner, Before O'Shea himself was on hand to head in a Clarke cross.

 

Amos then scored his 2nd of the Match after Prestbury defender Mark Gilbert mis-controlled a pass back to him and that let in Amos to slot past the advancing keeper.

 

The second half saw two further goals by Civil Service with Amos securing his Hat Trick and O'Shea tapping in after fine work from Mark Jones.

 

Mark Gilbert and Jim Miller both saw red late on for dissent.

Third Team Managers Ian Churchley and Alan Wakefield gave debuts to Todd Holder and Sonny Curran. Both players gave great performances that on another day would of warranted three points for their side.
