Curzon Ashton extended their winning streak to six matches with a 2-0 victory over Hyde United in a Manchester derby on Sunday. The Nash, managed by Adam Barton, secured the win through goals from Alex Curran and Jimmy Spencer, moving the team up to fifth place in the league standings.

The match began with Hyde United creating the first clear opportunities. Dan Martin tested Curzon’s defense early, but his shot was blocked by Marcus Poscha. Moments later, Hyde captain Brad Roscoe found space inside the box but sent his header wide of the target. The remainder of the half saw limited clear chances, including a header from Curzon’s Joel Amado that narrowly missed the goal.

Just under a minute into the second half, Curzon Ashton took the lead when Alex Curran scored, marking his third goal in as many games. Hyde responded with pressure, and Varela Maieco had two opportunities within four minutes. The first shot was comfortably saved by Curzon’s goalkeeper Aidan Dowling, while the second was directed wide of the post. Hyde continued to press, producing two more headed attempts that went wide, one from Dan Gardner.

In the final moments of the game, Dowling made a crucial save to deny a close-range effort from Hyde’s Tom Clare. Curzon quickly countered, with Jimmy Spencer adding a late goal to secure the win for the Nash.

The victory follows a previous success against league leaders Redcar earlier in the week, underscoring Curzon Ashton’s rising form as they aim to improve their position in the table. Hyde United, meanwhile, were unable to convert their chances, leaving the side without points in this fixture.
