ALSAGER TOWN 2, ATHERTON LR 1: Atherton LR left it too late against Alsager as Mark Westworth's second goal of the season proved only a consolation.
A drag first half produced few chances, but Alsager picked up the pace in the second period and goals from Paul Ireland and Wayne Brotherton put them well clear.
Westworth gave the visitors some hope when he turned the ball in off the post in the 87th minute.
