STRIKER Barry Massay's double handed Collieries the derby honours when the two Atherton clubs clashed at Alder House.

He scored twice in five second-half minutes to beat his former club and make it four wins in eight days for Phil Brown's in-form side.

Massay headed home his first from Andy Harvie's corner on 68 minutes before hitting his ninth of the season to end Rovers six-game unbeaten run in a 2-0 victory.

FC United's march towards the NWCL Division One title continued as they beat derby rivals Maine Road 3-0 in front of 3,605 at Gigg Lane.

The breakaway club, who now top the table by 13 points and could win the league on Saturday if Curzon Ashton fail to take maximum points on Thursday night, secured promotion to the UniBond League at the weekend.

The Rebels were too strong for their Manchester City counterparts Maine Road, set up by Blues fans, as they stretched their unbeaten run to a club-record 20 games.

FC took a 17th-minute lead when captain Neil Chappell turned Rory Patterson's low drive into his own net.

The visitors' Gareth Richards struck the post before Dave Brown glanced home Jerome Wright's free-kick in first-half injury time.

Rob Nugent headed a third on 62 minutes as United closed in on a league and Challenge Cup double.

In Division Two, Daisy Hill went down 2-1 at Leek CSOB - Craig Naylor hitting an 83rd-minute consolation after an Anthony Tarr brace had put the hosts in control before half-time.
