Travelling to Crewe to take on Crewe A in the North Staffs League on Wednesday, a somewhat weakened Macclesfield side came a cropper losing 3.5-0.5. Out graded on each board, the team put up a fight with skipper Phil looking good for a while against Karl Lockett and Geoff on top board holding Martin Burns. The latter game saw the clock stopped when Geoff noticed no time increments were being used. Given Geoff's frequent time problems anyway, this did seem a bit over the top!
