Macc win

the visitor’s peppered the hosts with a series of setpieces, before O’Hara got down smartly to parry away Pattison’s deflected effort.

However, the Silkmen survived the Glovers’ positive spell and pushed forwards to create several half chances of their own, but it wasn’t until the 72nd minute that a clear opportunity fell the hosts’ way.

Durrell cut in from the right and won a penalty under Tom James’ sliding challenge, and Michael Rose made no mistake from the spot.

It was almost two just five minutes later as Durrell proved a nuisance once again. His cross was met by Smith at the back post, but the striker’s knock down marginally evaded the desperate lunge of Stephens.

The Silkmen had a chance to seal it in injury time as Elliott Durrell lead a three-on-one attack, but the men in green tracked back well to clear the danger. Yeovil threw all the could at the Silkmen rear guard, but they held on for a well-deserved three points.
