Due to the poor condition of the Chorley Hall Lane pitch, this venue was switched to the Vulcans ground at the last minute. With a bare eleven players, Louis Belson made his debut at right back and without the regular forwards, Sam Jafarian and Ryan Jones deputised with great grit upfront. Apart from the first 10 minutes, the Druids totally dominated this match. They fell behind after only 3 minutes when a cross from the left fell for one of the unmarked Vulcans forwards who beat Andrew Metzelaar from close range. The Druids had a further let-off when a cross from the right was met with a header which just went wide. Slowly the Druids asserted themselves and they created a number of half-chances which came to nothing. Midway through the first half, Ryan Jones make some space for himself and hit the bar. Then a few minutes later Rick Solomons followed up from a corner and hit the upright. The Druids had further chances to equalise, but the Vulcans keeper did well to deny their efforts. Half-time 1-0 to the Vulcans. After the break, the Druids kept putting the pressure on the Vulcans and finally from a corner, Rick Solomons drove in the deserved equaliser. Another corner a few minutes later was met by John Armitage head and the ball flew into the far corner. The Druids now attacked at will and the score -line should have been more comfortable at this stage. Chances were spurned by Ryan Jones and Sam Jafarian, before Ryan Jones scored from a one-to-one some 10 minutes from time. Ryan Jones had the ball in the net again a few minutes later, but he was judged off-site. The defense and midfield were solid in the second half and allowed the Vulcans no shots on target. At the final whistle the Druids had run out deserved winners and a three more points from the remaining three matches are now required for promotion.

Man of the Match was again John Armitage for his never-say-die attitude and his superb second half goal.

This was a very even match where fortune smiled on the home team on a number of occasions. The Druids dominated the first half, but went behind to a looping header after 15 minutes of play. Chris Imiolek equaliser with a smashing shot a few minutes later and then a ball destined for the Mountfield goal dribbled against the post instead of in the net. The usual forward runs by Oliver Jones were impeded by the mud and few clear cut chances were created. After some slack defending on the edge of the Druids box, a shot destined for goalie Andrew Metzelaar got a wicked deflection and ended up in the back of the net. Half-time 2-1 to Mountfield Rovers. The mud made the ball very hard to move for both teams and most attacking play died just after the halfway line. From a good run from Oliver Jones, he finally managed to squeeze the ball past the Mountfield keeper for a deserved equaliser. Some 5 minutes later the same player was upended in the penalty area and the resulting penalty was expertly despatched by John Armitage. 3-2 to the Druids and finally ahead. Alas, the lead did not last long and from some poor defending from a Mountfield throw-in, one of the Mountfield forwards drilled the ball past the helpless Druids keeper. 3-3 and all to play for in the last 15 minutes. Both teams had chances to win the match, but by this time the players had run out of puff. The final whistle came and both teams had fought hard in this entertaining match with a draw a just result.

Man of the Match was given to the whole team for exceptional effort in the difficult playing conditions.

This match was marred by a serious injury to one of the Droylsden players after just 2 minutes of play. This injury caused about 30 minutes delay while players and managers were waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Finally the match was underway and the Druids took the initiative from the start. The bumpy pitch prevented the Druids from taking an early lead and a number of chances were put wide of the Droylsden goal. After 20 minutes Dan Imiolek made a great run on the right, chipped over the left back and drilled the ball past the Droylsden keeper. More pressure followed and John Armitage got on to a great cross from Oliver Jones to make the score 2-0. Just before half-time, the Druids were awarded a penalty when Oliver Jones was upended in the penalty area. John Armitage coolly converted the spot kick. Half-time 3-0 to the Druids. Some changes were made at half-time and soon the Druids had the ball in the net again after some slick play upfront. Chris Imiolek just beat the Droylsden centre back to a sublime cross from Rick Solomons. The opposition crumbled at this stage and Oliver Jones ran through the middle of the Droylsden defense to score a well-deserved goal which was quickly followed by a goal from Dan Imiolek who fired in a long range shot from the left for his second. In the last 15 minutes the Druids scored three more times through first Rick Solomons with a great left-foot shot, then Andrew Frain got at the end of a good cross from the left and the total tally of goals was wrapped up by John Armitage who scored his hat-trick just before full-time with a superb left-foot strike in the top corner. Full-time 9-0 to the Druids.

Man of the Match was John Armitage for his hat-trick and good attacking play.

The Druids started brightly and opened the score after 10 minutes with a crisp drive from Alex Jackson from the edge of the box. With a brisk wind against, the Druids moved the ball around confidently and Chris Imiolek capitalised on two good through balls to increase the lead to 3-0. With the pressure off, the Druids sat back and from a good shot from just outside the area, Wilmslow Sports narrowed the margin to 3-1. Immediately the Druids responded and again Chris Imiolek was at the end of a good pass from John Armitage to increase the half-time score to 4-1. With the wind in their backs, the Druids were supposed to score a hatful of goals in the second half, but instead it was Wilmslow Sports who scored through a penalty just 10 minutes into the half. The Druids were caught offside on a number of occasions and slack finishing did not bring the expected goal feast. The Druids kept pressing and Andrew Frain scored only his second goal for the Druids with the best goal of the match. Shortly thereafter, Chris Imiolek beat the offside trap and coolly slotted home. Just before the final whistle, a melee in the Wilmslow Sports 6-yard box resulted in the full-back hitting one of his own players and the ball crept over the goal-line for an own-goal. Final score 7-2 to the Druids.

Man of the Match was Chris Imiolek for his superb goals and good attacking play.

This top-of-the-table clash was always going to be a difficult match for both sides. The Druids were quick out of the starting blocks and matched the opposition for commitment and speed. After 5 minutes, Ryan Ford was brought down in the New Mills half and had to be substituted. While the substitution took place (Rick Solomons coming on at left back) Ryan Jones took the free-kick and hit the bar. From the re-bound John Armitage headed in the far corner beyond the keepers reach. 1-0 to the Druids and a fine start it was! The Druids kept using the wings and Andrew Frain got into some promising positions. A number of chances were created, but no further goals were added. New Mills began to get more of the play in midfield and started to exert some pressure without carving out any clear cut chances. Just before half-time an early cross saw Andrew Metzelaar come off his line, grab the ball, but he was then unceremoniously bundled over, losing the ball in the process. A last ditch attempt by Dan Imiolek to keep the ball out of the goal failed and the half-time whistle came at 1-1. The Druids made some changes at half-time, and as a result New Mills got a tighter grip on the midfield throughout. The Druids came under sustained pressure but somehow they kept the ball out of the net. Alex Jackson had a golden opportunity to nick a Druids win right at the end, but he miscued his shot from a great cross from Ryan Jones. After a series of New Mills corners which came to nothing, the referee signalled full-time and the Druids had earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw.

Man of the Match was John Armitage for his superb goal and his unfamiliar role as left back.

This was a match played under virtually impossible wind conditions. The wind blew so strongly that it was very hard to control the ball or the play and this affected both team equally. The Druids had the better of the first half but could not find any kind of rhythm or accurate passing going. They had about half a dozen corners which came to nothing and no real clear-cut chances were created. Half-time 0-0. In the second half the wind changed from across to against for the Druids and this gave the opposition the chance to put on some pressure from long balls. The Druids' defense coped with relative ease and slowly they build-up some forward momentum to put pressure on the Vulcans. Chris Imiolek just chipped over the bar and he also saw a goal-bound shot drift somehow out of the goal on a sudden gust of wind. Both sides would have been happy with a goalless draw at this stage. About 5 minutes from time, a long clearance from the Vulcan's defense should have been easily cleared by the Druids' fullbacks, but somehow they got in each others way and the ball spun in the far corner with the help of the wind (it looked like going well wide).  One goal was always going to decide this encounter and although the Druids tried to get back in the game, the conditions just did not permit any direct attacking play. The full-time whistle went and the Druids had lost their first match of the season. Undeserved it may be, but overall the effort and tenacity of the Druids were lacking today. This result came as a bit of a surprise to the players and they can only blame themselves for this lacklustre display in difficult circumstances when grit and determination were needed.

The weather held up this time, but the pitch was very uneven and this did not make for a free-flowing match. After an even opening, Andrew Metzelaar took a massive goal-kick. The ball bounced near the Hyde penalty area and then bounced and skidded through the hands of the opponent's goalie. A goal from a goal-kick, this had not been witnessed before at the Chorley Hall Lane pitch. 5 minutes later and another unlikely scorer added his name to the goal-scorer's list. After a few tackles, Aaron Jennings found himself on the right of the goal and unleashed a speculative shot. Again, the keeper made a hash of it and it ended in the back of the net. 2-0 to the Druids and this after two gifted goals. Midway through the first half, with the Druids pressing for more goals, a mix-up in the Hyde defense gave John Armitage the chance to squeeze the ball home for 3-0. Hyde United took advantage of some slack defending in the Druids penalty area to reduce the arrears to 3-1, but Oliver Jones scored two great individual goals to make the half-time score 5-1 to the Druids. At half-time, the Druids team made a number of changes for the second half and despite a number of chances the goals dried up. A poor second half ended in a stale-mate and at full time the score remained at 5-1 to the Druids.

Man of the Match was Ryan Jones for his excellent midfield display.

The Druids made hard work of beating Bramhall North on a muddy and heavy pitch. This was never going to be a free-flowing match and this long-ball match resulted in the Druids pushing home their advantage when it mattered. From a corner, Sam Jafarian crossed low and hard across the goal where Dan Imiolek turned in the ball from 2 yards out. 1-0 to the Druids and this match looked like it was going to be plain sailing. To their credit, Bramhall dug in and a very even match developed. Andrew Metzelaar made a great save to deny an equaliser and half-time came without much incident at either end. In the second half, the Druids showed more urgency and a number of good chances where wasted due to inaccurate shooting or the heavy pitch. Halfway through the second half, the Bramhall right-back slipped and Sam Jafarian slotted the ball home from a tight angle. The Druids thought they could take it easy now, but some slack defending saw Bramhall reduce the arrears with a crisp shot past the Druids keeper. Some more heroics were needed from Andrew Metzelaar to deny Bramhall an equaliser and Alex Jackson put the result beyond Bramhall with a left footed shot in the bottom corner 2 minutes from full-time. This was a hard-fought victory without too much flair and passing, but the Druids gained a valuable two points at the end of the day.

Man of the Match was Andrew Metzelaar for some outstanding saves.

This was an important match for both teams near the top of the table. Surprisingly, the pitch was in reasonable playing condition. Both teams were pumped up for this match and the away team took the early initiative. Against the run of play, a neat ball over the defense gave Oliver Jones the chance to hook the ball home. This lead did not last long when a through-ball caught the Druids' defense napping and a powerful shot beat goalie Andrew Metzelaar who got a hand to the ball but could not prevent it from creeping in at the far corner. The Druids now pressed forward and from a well-taken free-kick from Ryan Jones, Dan Imiolek followed in and squeezed the ball in the corner. A few minutes later, the Hazel Grove defense lost their heads, up-ended Oliver Jones in the box and had a player sent off. The resulting penalty was dispatched with aplomb by John Armitage. The half-time score arrived with the score 3-1 to the Druids. The same pattern emerged in the second half with the Druids pressing for more goals. With chances galore, Oliver Jones managed the score from a tight angle. Minutes later, Oliver Jones was again brought down in the area, but the penalty was blasted over the bar by Max Petch. Some slack defending then saw the away side snatch a goal back, but there was no further threat to the score-line. At full-time, the Druids had run out deserved 4-2 winners.

Man of the match was Oliver Jones for his well-taken goals and good running at the opponent's defense.

The Druids were definitely rusty after the holidays and a six week period without a match. Nevertheless, they took the lead with a spectacular lob from Chris Imiolek and they thought they had extended their lead when a cross from John Armitage was converted by Dan Cobb. The ball had clearly crossed the line, but the referee did not give the goal. The home side then took the initiative and equalised midway through the first half. The Druids had a few let-offs just before half-time and were happy to close out the half with the score at 1-1. The same pattern emerged after the break with the home side pushing forward and the Druids defending. From a corner the ball pin-balled in the Druids 6-yard box and Sam Jafarian tried to clear, but unfortunately the ball cannoned off a player into the corner. 2-1 down and not playing well. This did not bode well, but somehow the Druids got themselves into the match. Ryan Jones fired a speculative shot which crept under the keeper into the goal for the equaliser and minutes later a sweet strike from the same player put the Druids in front. The home side wilted and the Druids now pushed forward relentlessly. John Armitage was tripped in the penalty area and coolly converted the penalty himself. Jordan Cooke poached a goal from a miscued shot and in the last minute John Armitage added his second. The Druids had many chances to improve on this score with the home side running out of puff. At the final whistle the Druids had redeemed themselves for a poor first half and had come away with a fine win on the day. Final result: 6-2 to the Druids.

Man of the match was Max Penney for his determined play and good tackling at right back.
