WILMSLOW Albion had a stormy start to the season as two players were sent off and two were seriously injured in a 4-2 defeat at Breightmet United.

Rob Martin and Simon Wardle received their marching orders and skipper Dave Wright (knee) and full-back Karl Lee (dislocated shoulder) were also forced to leave the field of play.

Albion finished the game with eight men, but had rallied to 2-2 with 15 minutes to go with goals from new signing Jimmy Moore and Rob Martin. Player-manager Carl Massa had a third goal ruled out before Albion has two players sent off. Breightmet seized the advantage with two late goals.

Wilmslow's reserves lost 4-2 to Hindsford with goals from Paul Eddisbury and Damian James.
