Quakers Go Top Of Fledgling Table

....at the Tameside Stadium against Curzon Ashton on Monday night.

Curzon, who won at Alfreton Town on Saturday, fell behind after less than 4 minutes when Liam Hardy (pictured) slipped the ball under debutant `keeper Cameron Mason.

The hosts settled after conceding that early goal and began to ask questions of the Quakers` defence.

But 7 minutes into the second half, the visitors doubled their lead when a Terry Galbraith corner was prodded home from close range by Kevin Burgess.

However, The Nash were back in the contest less than 3 minutes later when Niall Cummins converted a cross from the left.

The home side looked the likelier to score after that, and had a golden opportunity to level matters in stoppage time, but this time Cummins missed an open goal when it looked easier to score.
