It was a successful weekend for Crewe Alexandra’s loan players, with four of the five loanees featuring for their temporary clubs.

Starting with our local neighbours Nantwich Town, who picked up a vital 2-1 victory on Sover mid-table side Lancaster City.

Tom Booth made some key saves either side of the half for the Dabbers, who picked up their first win in six games.

Connor Evans made his debut for Nantwich against Lancaster, playing 90 minutes before being replaced in added time as part of a tactical decision to see out the game.

Charlie Finney played 69 minutes in Chorley’s entertaining 3-3 draw away to Kettering, which keeps the Lancashire side in the play-off places on goal difference.

Billy Sass-Davies came on as a late substitute for Woking as they look to secure their play-off place in the national League with a 2-0 victory over Maidenhead United.

Leek Town’s fixture was called off against Mossley due to a frozen pitch, meaning Lewis Billington did not feature.
