Main went down to their third home league defeat of the season against a strong Rainworth MW side, losing 3-1 after holding a one goal advantage at half time.
Main had an early chance when defender Danny Reilly headed wide from Scott Whittington’s corner from the right before Welfare striker Massiah McDonald had a low shot easily saved by Jamie Bailey.
Ian Clarke had a shot from the edge of the box deflected wide of the Main goal and Main youngster Ryan Smyth, promoted from the U19’s, tested Welfare ‘keeper Mark Hales with a shot from twenty yards in the twenty third minute.
Five minutes later, Welfare defender Simon Wright hit a thirty yard free kick just wide.
Whittington’s thirty third minute high free kick into the box caused problems and bounced over the visitors’ bar with ‘keeper Hales backpeddling before, with ten first half minutes remaining, Main took the lead when they were awarded a free kick for a foul on Smyth by Matt Draper and Simon Hickey’s kick from the right drifted in at the far post.
