THE opening game in this year's Hospital Cup tournament saw Turton move into the next round with a 1-0 victory over local rivals Eagley.

Paul Warburton slotted home the winning goal after 25 minutes and, despite a late Eagley rally, the Turton defence kept them at bay in front of a large crowd which made over £110 for the Bolton Hospice appeal.

Turton will now meet the winners of the yet to be arranged Bolton County v Atherton Collieries match.
