9:47am Thursday 2nd September 2010
Prolific striker Jimmy Potts scored twice from the penalty spot against former club Winterbourne to give Tytherington a derby win.
At Tytherington last Easter Monday, Jimmy Potts also scored two penalties, but on that occasion Winterbourne won 3-0.
Tytherington were fired up and Marcus Taylor wasted a couple of chances then Marc Hughes turned a Danny Thorpe cross inches wide but, six minutes before the interval, the Rocks went ahead.
Potts was upended by Winterbourne left back, Alex Tanner, who was booked, as Potts rifled his spot kick into the visitors’ net.
After the interval Tytherington were in control as Taylor and midfielder Ollie Clarke went close.
On the hour, United goalkeeper Joshua Stowrowski picked up a back pass, was booked, and from the free kick 15 yards out, Clarke and Potts had shots blocked.
The Rocks went further ahead when Taylor was tripped by centre-half Mitch Davenport in the box and Potts easily found the bottom corner from the spot for his seventh goal in just three games.
With nine minutes left Clarke hooked the ball over the advancing Stowrowski to score from eight yards.
Winterbourne substitute Sam Vine got a consolation goal five minutes before the end after an horrendous error by Tytherington debutant goalkeeper Tom Sheppard, who played well up to that point.
Vine then scored from an offside position in the last minute, and from his angry re-action the striker was sent off.
Next Saturday, the Rocks are away at Easington Sports (3 pm). * Winterbourne beat bottom side Launton Sports on Saturday.
Sean Murray put the Oxfordshire side into an early lead but they were overhauled with efforts from Tam Kitgrave, Geraint Williams and two from Ashley Knight.
Winterbourne are at home for the first time this Saturday with Clanfield the visitors (3pm).
