Macclesfield V Derby
Tyrone Mears can't keep the Maccelsfield boys at bay
Derby County lost an exciting and entertaining battle 1-0 to league 2 side Macclesfield.

The Rams were fielding two trialists in the side, Dusan Svento and 30 year old Yannis Okkas from Cyprus, as well as several youngsters. The game had many chances but the Rams, without any of the recognised strikers couldn't find the net.

Young Ben Hinchcliffe was in goal and acquitted himself well, with several good saves. Tyrone Mears and Jay McEverely were in defence along with Captain for the night, Andy Todd.

The line up for the Rams was :Hinchcliffe, Mears, McEverley, Richards, Addison, Todd, Teale, Macken, Jones, Okkas and Svento.

Hopefully the Rams will take something from this friendly but with only a few days to go before the Premier League kicks-off, there may be plenty of work still left to do.
