IRLAM MS' title hopes in the Air Miles Manchester League were dented by an in-form Prestwich Heys, who ran out 3-1 winners in an entertaining encounter at Sandgate Road.

Abid Uddin collected a fine hat-trick for Heys, who continued the excellent form which saw them collect the Goldline Trophy in midweek, with John Robinson netting a late consolation for Mitchells.

Atherton Town now have the destiny of the Championship in their own hands thanks to a convincing 3-0 win at Dukinfield Town. Strikes from Danny Christie, Scott Dowds and Clint McLoughlin seeing Town safely to three points.

A second half effort from Dave Malius was enough to secure Elton Vale a 1-0 home victory over Royton Town.

In the First Division, Breightmet United secured their promotion spot in style with an 8-1 demolition of Whalley Range.

Paul Aldred hit a hat-trick with Phil Heap, Gary McShane, Simon O'Dowd, Dean Banks and Andy Hinks adding the rest. Nathan Gabriel scored Whalley's only goal.
