BRACKLEY TOWN 1 ALTRINCHAM 0
BRACKLEY came out on top in a clash of two of last season’s play-off teams courtesy of Shane Byrne’s stunning first-half strike.
The goal came on the half-hour and was struck sweetly by Byrne from 20 yards finding the net past Steve Drench in off the post.
Saints deserved the win creating more than enough chances to have won more decisively but had keeper Danny Lewis to thank for a 65th-minute penalty save from John Johnston after Jordan Hulme was brought down close to goal, Altrincham spurning a golden opportunity to equalise.
