THE leading contenders for the Bolton Boys Fed under-15s Championship ran out of steam as Aspull Jnrs lost at home to Newton Town and Lads Club came unstuck against a much improved Goose Green.

They had their keeper to thank after he made a great double save in the dying seconds of an entertaining game which helped lift them to second in the table.

In the under-18s, Jubilee Cup semi finals Woodbank and Daisy Hill will compete in the final after their recent cup victories over Bolton County and Farnworth Boys. Standish are clear leaders after rivals Radcliffe Town lost to lowly Bromley Cross.

In the under-14s, leaders Lads Club B were held to a 2-2 draw at Oxford Grove, while there were good wins for second placed Lads Club A, Westhoughton Rangers, Ladybridge Rovers, Woodbank and County Juniors, who had Robert Crank scoring four goals.
