JUST three out of the 10 scheduled matches survived Saturday's wintry weather in the BSF Over-35s.

Ainsworth A deserved credit for offering to switch their Division Two Cup quarter-final from their snow-bound home ground, but Chorlton Sports showed them no mercy, dishing out a 9-2 thrashing.

Dave Baker and Noel Coleman hit two goals each for Chorlton in the first half, while Paul Hardy pulled one back for the visitors.

But Chorlton increased their lead after the interval, with Damian Hilton rifling in a 25-yard screamer and a 15-yard thunderbolt, while Daniel Abucewicz and Kenny McWalter added one each and Noel Coleman completed his hat-trick.

Ainsworth kept going and Chris Sturdwick scored their second, but they were guilty of missing chances which could have made the result much closer.

Turton Bay Mare moved top in Division One courtesy of a 3-1 win at Salford Waggon in one of two rearranged league games that got the goa-ahead.

An Adam Burke penalty, and own goal and a strike by Stewart Williams helped Turton leapfrog Atherton Town, but they are just one point ahead having played two games more.

Runaway leaders Mitchells Unicorn kept up their 100 per cent winning record at the top of Division Two with their ninth straight victory of the campaign.

They also boosted their goal difference to a massive +43 with a 10-0 winning margin against bottom side PF Bury.

Jonathan Palmer claimed a hat-trick and John Firth and Steve Lockett both bagged a brace for Mitchells, while Paul Strich, Stephen Bates and Mark Galbraith scored one goal apiece.

Out of the matches that did not go ahead, Broadway have been awarded victory in their Sam Ashworth cup tie, while the much delayed Division Three Cup preliminary round game between Bolton Wyresdale and Failsworth Home Guard has been awarded to Failsworth because Wyresdale chose not to travel in “bad weather”.
