New Mills’ FA Vase dreams are shattered
New Mills exited the FA Vase on Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 at Northern Counties East League Premier Division side Hallam.
It took a second-half penalty from Leon Howarth to do the damage, the result being New Mills’ third defeat in a row in all competitions.
With only one win in their last five league games, the Millers will now prepare for two home games in a row as they look to regain their place in the play-off places, with Chris Baguley’s men sitting in seventh place and two points behind fifth-placed Cheadle Heath Nomads but with a game in hand.
First they welcome league leaders Stafford Town on Saturday before Sandbach United arrive a week later.
