It was a good day for Wythenshawe football today as Amateurs secured a 3-1 victory away to Eccleshall.
Goal action came in the second half with a brace from James and Bradley Carr pulled one back for the home side before Kieron Malloy added a third for the visitors five minutes before the whistle.
Ammies are now second in the league, a point behind leaders Abbey Hulton. They will next face Stone Old Alleynians in a fortnight at Hollyhedge Park
Wythenshawe Town’s goalkeeper, Bruno Miguel da Silva, who was seriously hurt in a Manchester FA Premier Cup match is now out of hospital and continuing his recovery.
Bruno was hurt in the match against Avro FC on September 19 when he sustained a factured skull.
The keeper- a self employed driver – is unable to work while he recovers from the injury and a fund has been set up to support him – now almost half way towards reaching its target. The Just Giving page was set up by a fellow goalkeeper, and friend of Bruno.
Bruno suffered two skull fractures, one on each side and also fractured his eye socket. He suffered memory loss and had bleeding on the brain which contributed to his extended stay in hospital.

England fans at Wythenshawe Town clubhouse were celebrating along with the rest of the country as Panama were hit for six.
It was an extraordinary display by the Three Lions with talisman, Harry Kane scoring a magnificent hatrick in England’s best ever World Cup performance.
But when Panama’s Baloy scored their team’s only goal of the game, there was one proud England fan who was praying his team would not increase their lead.
Steve McArthur had backed a winning score for England of 6-1 at odds of 80-1. So there was joy when Panama’s goal went in followed by an anxious 12 minutes till the final whistle.
And when the game finished, a delighted Steve said: “My only regret is only putting three quid on it.
“It was a great result. And it’s great that England can now relax for the Belgium game.”
England top Group G as they have fewer yellow cards than Belgium. If they draw the final game it will go down to disciplinary records to decide who finishes first – and if that is level lots will be drawn.
In case you’re wondering, Steve’s prediction for England’s last group game on Thursday is a 2-2 draw.
