Rooney era kicks off with tough Stags tie

But the Stags' experience got the better of John Rooney's Silkmen in his first game in charge, allowing them to strike either side of the interval and secure a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Macc's matchday squad incorporated a number of trialists, while new signing Isaac Buckley-Ricketts was also handed his debut.

Newest recruit Josef Yarney was in attendance but did not make the squad.

A composed opening ten minutes saw the Silks knock the ball around Nigel Clough's XI in an attempt to carve out a sight at goal.

Buckley-Ricketts was first to do so when he took aim from 25 yards, looking to catch the attention of the Macc fans by aiming for the top-right corner, though the former Curzon Ashton man could only curl his effort into the away terrace.
