Matlock Town secured their first victory under new manager Nathan Haslam with a win over Stocksbridge Park Steels. The match, played on October 10, showcased a disciplined and well-organized performance from Matlock, who controlled much of the game through structured play.

Central to Matlock’s attack was Ethan Kachosa, who stood out throughout the match with his consistent threat on goal. Kachosa opened the scoring with a curling shot that outmaneuvered Stocksbridge goalkeeper Lloyd Allinson. He continued to trouble the opposition defense, demonstrating his importance to the team’s offensive efforts.

Stocksbridge Park Steels responded with strong defensive resilience but were unable to break down Matlock’s defense or capitalize on scoring opportunities. Despite their efforts, the visitors could not equalize, leaving Matlock to maintain their lead until the final whistle.

The win marks a positive start for Haslam’s tenure, as Matlock look to build momentum in their upcoming fixtures. The team’s defensive organization combined with Kachosa’s attacking impact will be key factors moving forward.
