Wanderers still waiting for first win, while Salford beat County

- FOOTBALL By SHELDAN KEAY

BOLTON are still searching for their first league win of the season after they were held to a 0-0 draw at Birmingham City.

It leaves Wanderers in 18th place in the Championsh­ip table having picked up two points from their opening three games.

In National League North, SALFORD CITY claimed bragging rights against local rivals STOCKPORT COUNTY by picking up a 2-1 win at Moor Lane.

Goals from Michael Nottingham and Anthony Dudley put the hosts ahead, but Stockport scored thanks to a strike from Connor Hampson.

But Salford managed to hold on to earn all three points against their neighbours.

FC UNITED were involved in a high-scoring affair after failing to hold on to their lead, finishing with a 3-3 draw at Southport.

The Rebels were 2-0 up at the break after goals from Nathan Lowe and James Hooper, before Liam Martin pulled one back for Southport.

Craig Lindfield then restored FC’s two-goal lead, but late goals from Adam Dugdale and Jake Sampson meant FC United were denied a win.

In the National League, MACCLESFIE­LD TOWN also conceded two late goals as they were beaten 2-1 at Sutton United.

The Silkmen led 1-0 after Scott Wilson put his team in front on two minutes, but Moses Emmanuel and Tommy Wright netted in the closing moments to inflict a disappoint­ing defeat on Macclesfie­ld.
