Whitchurch Alport's recent unbeaten run was brought to a halt on Saturday afternoon with a narrow 3-2 away defeat to Midlands Premier League leaders Lichfield City.

Buoyed by successive cup wins in the previous week with progression in both the FA Vase and Midland League Cup, Alport went into the game full of confidence.

Jamie Elkes and Danny Lomas struck for the hosts while goals from Callum Knowles and Harry Bower twice brought Alport level before Jack Edwards struck the winner with 15 minutes remaining.

Roman Allen and Adam Hailes will now bid to make the most of a free weekend and nurse their way back to fitness for the visit of Romulus on November 30.
