Newly-appointed manager Peter Hall took charge of Eccleshall for the first time but his side were narrowly unable to give him a winning start against 10-man Wigan Robin Park. The visitors, who had defender Chris Williams sent off just before half-time, scored the only goal of the game early in the second half through Chris McNally and held onto their lead until the final whistle. This was my fourth visit to Pershall Park, the first in 1987 and the second and third both in 2008.
