IN THE U10 Section A, CMB Wanderers and Westhoughton Rangers fought out a very close encounter. CMB finally ended Rangers resistance thanks to a well worked goal scored by Jonathan Clough.

Hindley's superb run of seven consecutive victories came to an abrupt end. Hindley led 2-0 before Hindsford powered back to net seven!

CMB Nomads remain undefeated after being put under substantial pressure from a very in form Bromley Cross Athletic that ended 0-0.

In the U10 Section B, Horwich St Mary's Colts poor run continues after they missed a string of chances. Bolton County Crusaders victory brings them within six points of second place. Little Hulton's up and down season continues after an impressive away win 6-1 at Bromley Cross City.

Striking partner

Hindsford capitalised on some poor defending to earn victory over Farnworth Panthers 2-0. Adam Walker earned himself a tidy sum by netting a double hat-trick for Horwich St Mary's Eagles. He has to thank his striking partner Sam Parkinson who took great pleasure in setting him up and scoring the third hat-trick of the game against Ladybridge Athletic 9-1. Top side, Farnworth Pumas travelled to second place Oxford Grove. Man of the match, keeper, Jack Wolstenholme was a pleasure to watch. Oxford Grove needed to win, but their hopes were dashed, Pumas won 2-0 to take them nine points clear

In the U10 Section C, Bolton County Hotspur now have to hope for a miracle to secure the runners up spot. Walshaw Park Warriors beat Hotspur 3-0 and now have to hope the leaders slip up. Rivington Juniors and Horwich St Mary's Bees played a close first half, but Rivington changed up a few gears to run out 10-3 well deserved winners. Gregg Travers (4), Sarfraz Munshi (4) Tom Egan and Ashley Taylor were on target for Rivington. Bury Lions have Curtis Titmus (3), Anthony Curling (2), Ben Ray and Alex Farrell to thank for earning their first points this year.

In the U9 A Section goals from Kelly and Farnworth won the game for Bromley Cross against Woodbank. A victory for Bolton County Aces was secured with goals from Yates, Philpot and Knight in their game with Hindley Jets.

In the U9 B Section Bolton County Gurkhas beat Leigh RMI with goals from S Knowles and Ryder. Ladybridge Bulldogs won the game of the day; a nine goal thriller against Hindley Terriers. The five goals for the Bulldogs were scored by Leathern (2), Carney, Carter and Jones. Ladybridge Lions were comfortable winners against Bury Rangers; their three goals were scored by Murgetroyd (2) and Aldread. Brandlesholme Warriors secured a narrow victory against Farnworth Cougars with goals from Collinge and Beumont.

In the U9 C Section Woodbank B came from behind to beat Ladybridge Crusaders with late goals from Ennis and Hamdan. The local derby between North Walkden and Little Hulton was won by the Little Hulton Lads with goals from Ballard and Mollineux. Westhoughton Rangers continue their unbeaten run after putting six past Bromley Cross.

The top two met in the U8 Section A, with Brandlesholme Warriors A avenging their early season defeat to Bolton Lads/Girls Club in a resounding 5-1 victory.

U8 Section B performance of the day goes to Astley Bridge Boys, who pulled off a terrific 1-0 win over second placed Bolton County Lions. Lee Woods scored the winner. Kieron Scriven scored a hat-trick for Hindley Juniors in their 3-1 victory over Bolton County Broncos. This moves Hindley into joint second spot. Farnworth Tigers increased their lead at the top with a narrow 2-1 away win at Brandlesholme Warriors B, Connor Hughes and Simon Biggar secured the points. Ladybridge Athletic kept pace with the leaders with a 6-0 win over North Walkden.

Congratulations go to Oxford Grove as they secured the U8 Section C title with a close 2-0 victory over Bromley Cross B.

It was Cup Semi final weekend in the U8 section. In the Chairman's Cup, Luke Parkinson gave Westhoughton Rangers the lead only for Calum Stott to level matters for Ladybridge Athletic. With the scores still level after extra time Westhoughton held their nerve to book a final spot after a penalty shoot-out! In the other match Boothstown Casuals edged past Hindley Juniors 3-2 with two goals from Ben Dyson and one from Lewis Eccleston in a tense game!

In the U8 Players Cup Semi finals, Myles McGrillen scored all seven goals for Horwich St Mary's Warriors in their 7-1 victory over Bolton County Raiders, this after Matt Ormrod had put County in front! Lee Warswick and Dalian Prescott bagged two goals each for Bolton Lads/Girls Club in their 5-0 victory over Astley Bridge Boys.

In the U7 Beta Group, the battle of the bottom two went Horwich St Mary's Bullets way. Thanks to two goals from Sam Smith, however, the much improved Little Hulton side did have chances to score but just lost out. Bolton County Panthers kept the pressure on at the top with a good 3-0 score against Bromley Cross. Kaye (2), and Cuiff keeping the pressure on Oxford Grove, who lost 3-0 at Farnworth Jaguars in the top of the table clash.
