Shortly after the home side nudged in front after a mistake at the back by Albion, the players were brought off for five minutes after a snow storm thundered down making it increasingly difficult to see not just the ball but players also.

Nevertheless when play did resume, the pitch was still covered in snow but despite Taddy's best efforts, Trafford held on to take maximum points.

Taddy lined up with the same eleven players that have started the last five matches as Pete Davidson passed an early fitness test.

Popular non-league marksman Danny Frost began the season with Albion before moving on pre-Christmas and it was he who had the first chance of the contest.

Tad stopper Michael Ingham is a giant of a goalkeeper and is very rarely lobbed but Frost tried his best and saw his effort slip through the Irishman, only for Josh Barrett to clear the loose ball from out of the six-yard box.

As the first of umpteen snow flurries across the course of the afternoon descended in Manchester, the home side had an early goal chalked off for offside. Danny Frost's curling shot was deflected off Barrett and turned in by Darius Palma who was adjudged to have burst through a fraction early.

With the glorious yet freezing sunshine quickly reappearing, Taddy gained a strong foothold in the match and came close themselves on thirteen minutes.

Aiden Savory headed a ball back across goal to which the former Leeds United man Billy Whitehouse saw his header crash off the crossbar.

Whitehouse and Casey Stewart continued to look menacing as ever when holding the ball at their feet in the penalty box but they just couldn’t find that half a yard to properly test Grant Shenton in the Trafford goal.

The two aforementioned wingers combined again moments later to set up Aiden Savory who audaciously back-flicked on target but it wasn’t testing the Trafford keeper.

Taddy were well on top at Shawview and they carved out their best chance of the half ten minutes from the break.

Whitehouse’s forward pass into Savory was swept in behind first-time releasing Chris Howarth into space down the right-hand side but his low drive was comfortably halted by Shenton.

Not for the want of trying, Howarth had another go seconds later. This time the versatile midfielder pulled the trigger from 27 yards, a beautifully struck effort but it was well tipped wide by a full-stretched Shenton.

Despite continuing to look dangerous in the final third, Taddy found themselves behind thirteen minutes into the second half.

Keil O’Brien turned a corner just wide, Sean Miller also scuffed off target before Danny Frost did in fact break the deadlock.

A hooked ball forward was misjudged by Josh Barrett allowing the nippy Frost to dribble clean through on goal and squeeze a shot underneath Michael Ingham.

The former professional stopper read his former teammate but couldn’t quite keep out the low shot on the snow-covered pitch.

The opening goal was almost immediately followed by a second but Andy Langford turned narrowly wide for the hosts.

With 66 minutes on the clock, the worst snow storm of the afternoon roared down, and the signs weren’t good.

The frantic flurry was turning into a blizzard as the dreaded white stuff dominated conversations around the ground. It was setting immediately on the pitch and with the home side playing in white and playing with a white ball, it was difficult to see let alone try play in it.

After the referee allowed play to continue for three to four minutes, the decision was eventually made to take the players off with conditions worsening.

However, literally as soon as the players and officials disappeared back down the tunnel, the snow slowed down and the sun broke back out. You quite literally could not write it.

A five minute delay and play was back underway with Trafford now sporting new yellow shirts and of course, it was again bright sunshine again.

With the Brewers pushing bodies forward to try and get something from the game, Trafford began to look dangerous on the counter as Josh Barrett cleared an inevitable goal off the line after Sean Miller rounded Ingham and rolled on target.

Albion boss Michael Morton had to go for it and he certainly did by throwing on Conor Sellars and Joe Pugh into the fray and deploying Billy Whitehouse as an extremely attacking full-back.

The contest became incredibly stretched in the final stages though as Taddy were giving it everything to grab an equaliser.

However, the closest they came was nine minutes from time as Conor Sellars jinked inside in the penalty box and saw his ferociously whipped effort deflect onto the roof of the net.

With the Brewers exposed at the back, Trafford could and probably should have netted a second right at the death when substitute Aaron Burns was picked out but he was denied from point blank range by an outstanding save from Ingham.

No goals in their last two outings for Taddy who drop a place to seventh in the Evo-Stik North.
