ATHERTON COLLS 1, MAINE ROAD 1: Colls were denied three valuable points when Maine Road equalised in injury-time.

Colls continued their recent good form, despite losing Alex Lord in the 35th minute, when he was shown the red card for dissent.

A Mark Price free-kick evaded the defence to put them ahead just before the break, but skipper Andy Walker missed the chance of sealing the win when he fired a 68th minute penalty straight at the keeper.

To rub salt into the wounds Maine Road levelled in the sixth minute of injury-time.
