Atherton Colls 3 Daisy Hill 0 ATHERTON Colls clinched the runners up slot in the NWCL Division Two last night in triumphant fashion with a cracking 3-0 home win over big rivals Daisy Hill.

ATHERTON LR travel to Farsley Celtic tonight for the penultimate fixture of the UniBond Division One season hoping central defender Lee Sculpher will be fit to return to action after missing six games with a knee injury.

Mattie Brookes and Damien Kelly, recently returned from playing in America, are also included in the squad. TURTON Vets sadly went down in a 2-0 defeat at Billingham Synthonia on Sunday in the Northern final of the highly prestigious of the Umbro over 35's national competition.

The defeat brought heartbreak for the Bolton lads just two games away from a Wembley final appearance, especially as the first goal was scored in highly controversial circumstances when a linesman adjudged a rebound from the cross bar to has crossed the line when not a single home player was claiming for a goal.
