Cheltenham 2-0 Crewe: Dickie on target in home win
Sunday 28 August 2016 17:33, UK
First-half goals from Rob Dickie and James Dayton earned Cheltenham Town their first win since returning to League Two after a one-year absence as they saw off Crewe 2-0.
Defender Dickie, who returned to the club on loan from Reading this week, netted the opener as he turned in Dayton's low corner from the right in the 16th minute.
Dayton added the second six minutes later as he seized on a poor pass from Danny Hollands and applying a simple finish past Ben Garratt.
The home side were on top throughout the first half with James Rowe setting Billy Waters up for a good chance against his old club, but he curled his effort wide early on.
Crewe improved after the break without seriously testing Cheltenham goalkeeper Russell Griffiths, who had a quiet afternoon.
