Playwell United made it back-to-back Premier Division wins over Stanwick City with a 1-0 home victory at Mill Lane Stadium on Monday, Chris Maddox settling it with a second-half volley into the top right-hand corner. A good crowd of 200 or more were there to see it on what was a windy afternoon on a heavy pitch.
The first notable moment came in the 34th minute when Stanwick City's penalty hit the crossbar and went clear, leaving the score level at the break.
Maddox puts Playwell United ahead
Ten minutes into the second half, Ben Cavanagh found Chris Maddox, who struck a volley into the top right-hand corner to put Playwell United 1-0 up. It was the only goal of the game and proved to be the winner.
Two minutes later, Liam Granger came on in midfield for Cavanagh. The lads kept their composure from there and saw the match out to claim the three points.
Ben Cavanagh took the Player of the Match award. The midfielder set up the goal and covered the ground throughout, getting up and down the pitch to create chances across the ninety minutes.
Manager Shaun Bennet was pleased with how the afternoon went. "The lads worked hard and passed it well," he said. "We created chances, kept going, and I thought we found a good balance after the change. Credit to everyone who came on."
Redmoor United at home next
Playwell United host Redmoor United at Mill Lane Stadium on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with the game getting under way at 2:00 PM. It would be great to see some familiar faces back at the ground after a result like this one.
