Atherton LR 2. Maine Road 4
A POOR first half performance was largely responsible for Rovers going out of the cup at the first hurdle as Jock Russell and Chris Simms gave Maine Road a two goal lead by the interval.
The second half was better but defensive blunders undid all the good work with Gareth Rowe getting both LR goals.
