Worksop Town 1 Atherton LR 3 ATHERTON LR moved up to joint third in the UniBond Division One table with a sparking away victory at Worksop Town.

Amazingly this latest win was achieved without several regular first team players, the latest injury-enforced absentees being Andy Feeley and Jimmy Evans.

All three frontrunners, Joey Dunn, Gavin McDonald and Lee Cryer got on the scoresheet with recent signing from Clitheroe Lee Sculpher putting on an impressive performance at centre back. Double blunder hits Boro Lincoln United 2 Radcliffe Boro 1 RADCLIFFE Boro remain level on points with Atherton LR despite going down 2-1 at Lincoln United.

In spite of this defeat, manager Kevin Glendon was pleased with his side's performance. "Joe Connor gave us an early lead," he said. "and we played really well in the first half, and for the first 25 minutes of the second. It was just a mad five minutes that cost us the game as we conceded a silly goal from a corner and then gifted them an own goal. Even after that, we still played well enough to have won it." Off-key Colls' Vase exit Salford City 3 Atherton Colls 0 ATHERTON Colls crashed out of the FA Vase at the second qualifying round stage on Saturday with a strangely lacklustre performance.

Colls, the renowned giantkillers of last season, looked out of character and there was little to impress the watching Ryan Giggs in this display.

Salford Skipper Gregory Wilson toe-poked home the opener in the 16th minute. Two City substitutes, Carlton Dove and Stuart Grimshaw, sealed an emphatic victory for the Division One strugglers with well-taken goals in the 67th and 80th minutes. Hill crash to another defeat Haslingden 3 Daisy Hill 1 DAISY Hill slumped to yet another Division Two defeat but manager Jimmy Hulton was less scathing of his team's latest display.

"After the way we've performed recently, this was a lot better," he said. "We played quite well and this was always going to be a difficult away fixture."

Danny Mills got Daisy's goal from the penalty spot on 69 minutes.
