A poor performance over in Manchester allowed Maine Road to take all the points in the NWCFL premier division game, goals 10 minutes into the second half from a corner and another in the last minute of time direct from a free kick don't really tell the whole story. it was a game that Ashton failed to create anything of note and were grateful that goalkeeper Chris Brinksman was in fine form saving is side on a number of occasions.
Next up is a Lancashire FA cup tie on Tuesday night at home against Atherton LR FC with a 7-45pm kick off.
