THE Bay Mare Strollers twice battled from behind to earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Dobbies A in Division One.

Trevor Ball rolled back the years as he drifted past three defenders before slotting home to give Dobbies the lead.

Lee Yates equalised for The Strollers then, almost immediately, Ian Horrocks capitalised on a defensive lapse to fire Dobbies back in front.

A dramatic last-gasp header from Andy Morris gave The Strollers a well-deserved share of the points.

Walkden Cricket moved up a place to fifth in Division One after a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Dobbies C which dumped the losers on the bottom of the table, and A Davis grabbed two as Walkden moved to within range of the top four. The Salford Waggon moved to within a point of the leaders in Division Two after an impressive 3-1 win against Bromley Cross.

Goals from Lodge, Cottrill and Harrison secured the win that keeps them in touch with Victoria at the top of the table.

The Red Lion moved up to fourth place after a superb 6-2 win over bottom club The Pineapple.

Chris Patterson and Ste Riley scored two goals each to help The Red Lion to victory with Paul Cameron and Danny Russell chipping in as well.

Ainsworth B caused a minor shock with a 3-0 win over leaders Ram United in Division Three.

A great hat-trick from substitute Gennaro Anzalone, who replaced Paul Roscoe after he suffered a badly gashed knee, secured the points for Ainsworth.

The result moves Ainsworth up to fourth place as well as inflicting a first defeat of the season on Ram.

The Quadrant moved to within three points of leaders Ram after beating Harwood Grey Mare 3-0 thanks to another two goals for the prolific Ian Farrell who must be favourite for the top goalscorer title.

Chorlton Vets went crazy at the weekend thrashing Top Bull 8-1 and with some better finishing it could have been a lot worse for the Bull.
