Well done to Sandbach United Football Club's first team last night who fought hard but lost their Cheshire Cup match against Macclesfield's mighty Silkmen on a penalty shoot-out.

The full-time score was a draw, 2 – 2, but Macclesfield won 5 – 4 in the penalty shoot-out at the match in front of a crowd of 401.

Never mind Sandbach, aka The Ramblers – you still scooped three awards in the Cheshire FA Grassroots Football awards as we reported here
