Much changed Millers draw at home

The Millers and Alsager Town played out a 2-2 draw at Church Lane in an entertaining contest in front of an attendance of 153 s.

Alsager Town's Dylan Woods opened the scoring on 24 minutes, giving the visitors an early lead that they probably deserved based on the balance of play, a neat finish past Joey Oldham after a defensive mix up. The Milers bounced back and equalised seven minutes later through Will Shawcross as he brilliantly collected a pass from Ben McNamara and slotted home.

Aaron Swift netted his first goal for The Millers on 41 minutes, a clever chip from 25 yards putting the home side ahead 2-1, a lead they took into the interval.

Dylan Woods netted his second goal of the match with a fine free-kick shortly after the break, levelling the score at 2-2. Both sides pushed for the win and both missed opportunities to take all three points, but there was no further scoring and the game ended level.

Alsager Town's official X account praised their team's performance, stating it was "arguably the best since Russell joined as manager." They also noted that securing a point was commendable, especially after being a goal down at halftime. While The Millers were frustrated in front of their home supporters once more, their winless run at Church Lane goes back to the final day of August when Wolverhampton Sporting Community were defeated by three goals to nil.
