Hindley 1 Horwich RMI 2: HORWICH RMI returned from a Christmas break extended by the weather to see off Hindley in the Lancashire Amateur League First Division.
Matt Harwood put them ahead when he latched on to Craig O'Reilly's pass, beat a defender and then the keeper.
Harwood scored his second soon after the re-start, lobbing the keeper from 25 yards.
Horwich had to withstand severe Hindley pressure, and finally conceded from a corner, but they hung on.
RMI's seconds beat Spotland Methodists 3-0, while the thirds defeated Accrington Amateurs 2-1.
