BOLTON County capitalised on defensive errors and missed chances by Little Lever to secure a 3-0 derby victory in the Lancashire Amateur League Premier Division.
Little Lever dominated possession for much of the game but pressed the self-destruct button.
They went 1-0 down after 10 minutes when a mix-up between keeper and defender paved the way for a simple tap in.
Little Lever hit back with Nathan Glynn hitting the bar and Mick Jones striking the post when he should have scored.
County went further ahead 10 minutes before the break and, after weathering a second half storm, County scored a third in the final seconds after Little Lever keeper Gary Carter dropped the ball at the feet of McDonald.
Radcliffe Amateurs suffered their worst defeat of the season when they were beaten 3-0 by last year's Premiership champions Gregorians.
Amateurs' centre half Simon Gugniewicz had to leave the field after 15 minutes with an injury when the score was 1-0 but 10 minutes later Radcliffe were three down.
They fought hard to come back with close efforts from O'Sullivan, Scully and Andrew but no-one could find the back of the net.
