BOLTON Combination's fixtures suffered a complete wipe -out for the first time this season at the weekend.

On Saturday kick off 2pm sees the Tate Trophy Second Round will take place.

The fixtures are - Adlington Athletic v Howe Bridge Mills Res; Atherton C&N Res v Stoneclough Res; Little Lever v Atherton S&S; Tyldesley United v Tottington United A; Turton v Walkden AFC Res. All these teams are playing for a place in the quarter final with each tie throwing up the chance of an upset.

Howe Bridge Res will have to lift their game to win at Adlington Athletic while Stoneclough Res on the day can give Atherton C&N Res, who lead Division One, a real fright

Little Lever should beat Atherton S&S but if they drop their standard, S&S will punish them as their past few weeks' form has been good.

Tyldesley United will have to pull out all the stops to beat current Division Two leaders Tottington A. Anything can happen as Tyldesley are enjoying their move to a new ground. Turton will be looking to progress to the next round but here again Walkden Res will be no pushovers.
