Strong Alex side recover to victory

Goals from Gregor Roberton, Ollie Turton and scholar James Jones helped a Crewe Alexandra XI record a 3-2 over New Mills this evening.

A strong Alex side featuring the likes of Mark Ellis, Adam Dugdale, Thierry Audel and Vadaine Oliver fell two goals down early on, but Robertson headed home to reduce the deficit at the break.

Second half strikes from Turton and substitute Jones turned the game on its head in the second half and the Alex held out to record a victory.
