Bolton News Reports on the 2nd Round Matches:

 Breightmet United 1 – 0 Atherton Town (Reserves)

This match was played in difficult conditions, with the first rain for over 3 weeks leaving a sticky top surface over a hard pitch. Despite this, both teams had numerous chances in the first half without breaking the deadlock. Breightmet came closest with 2 long-range shots, one from a freekick and one from open-play. The second half continued in a similar style until with neither keeper having been troubled, Mat Swailes broke through, shrugging off one defender to score with a hard low shot through the Atherton Keeper's legs. With limited time remaining, the away side had 3 good chances to equalise, but couldn't take any of them, leaving Breightmet to play Leigh Athletic in the quarter final.

  Tyldesley United 1 – 1 Three Crowns (Tyldesley won 4-3 on penalties)

This match got off to a rather slow start, with both sides finding the hard dry conditions difficult. With very few chances, it looked a certainty for a nil-nil half time when Dave Fashou popped up from the inside left position to score for the home side with a fierce volley that literally lifted the net from its fixings. The second half was much brighter and Tyldesley looked like they would extend their lead, even having a penalty claim turned down in a good display by referee Norman Lea. Just when it looked like there would be no more goals, Dave Dooley struck with a header for the visitors from a Jamie Shepherd corner to send the match to Penalties.
Both teams made a nervous start, missing one of their first two attempts, but Tyldesley held their nerve to win 4-3, despite their last penalty having to be re-taken for an over-enthusiastic, forward movement by the 3 Crowns keeper.

  Ashton Town 6 – 2 Colliers Vets

A spirited and skilful performance saw the Colliers ahead at half-time by 2 - 1 with the home side looking frantic against their composed play. They led twice through an own goal by Mike Wood and good header by David Smith. In between, Ashton had got back on level terms when Chris McNally scored. The second half was a different matter, when Ashton's youth finally began to tell and they ran in 5 goals without reply. Mike Wood made amends for his earlier o.g. and that was complimented by goals from Adam Gilchrist, Mat Gregory, Liam Jeffrey, and Matty Smith.

 Daisy Hill 0 – 3 Hindley Town

Lots of pressure from the home side in the first half came to nothing, before Grant Hurst scored for Hindley against the run of play. The match became more even in the second half, with both chances missing chances. Steve Smith finally broke the deadlock and added to his side's first half goal with a decent low shot. The Daisy Hill pressure grew from that point, and with Hindley struggling to get out of their own half, their goalkeeper Gareth Wood, made a string of saves, continuing his good form from the first round. Daisy Hill just couldn't score, and to finish the match, Tom Draper tapped-in after a breakaway to make it a comfortable win for the visitors.

 Ashton Athletic 4 – 0 Highfield

Two goals in each half settled this game which, for half an hour, looked to be a very close contest. The visitors looked the stronger at first, but were unable to finish. Ashton scored on the half-hour with a tap-in after an error in the Highfield defence, and by the time their second goal (a penalty) went in, close to half time, their dominance was apparent. Both 1st half goals were scored by striker Paul McVeigh. In the second half, Ashton scored a further two goals against a dispirited Highfield, to run out comfortable winners. The first a header from a corner scored by Martin Rigby, and the last by Mat Mahoney with a rising shot into the top left corner. Ashton will take on the holders Bolton Lads Club in the quarter finals.

 Leigh Athletic 1 – 1 Howe Bridge (Leigh won 4-2 on penalties)

In a lacklustre performance Leigh struggled in this match against a spirited performance by their neighbours from Howe Bridge. Leigh were fortunate to take the lead early-on with an own goal from the opposition defence. The rest of the first half was even, with relatively few goal attempts and played in a good spirit. The second half continued in the same vein, but with increasing pressure applied by Howe Bridge as they strived for an equaliser. Just when it looked to be too late, Tom Valentine popped up to score from close range and send the match to penalties.
After Howe Bridge missed 2 of their first 4 penalties, Leigh made sure and won with one kick to spare.

 Atherton Town 2 – 0 Bolton County

Atherton Town's second consecutive home tie resulted in a comfortable win over Bolton County. While neither side really got going in this match, most of the play and chances came from Atherton. They took the lead in the first half with a scrappy goal scrambled home by Mike Garfin, from close range after a corner. With few chances for the next hour, the game was finally made safe with the best move of the match, Mark Parry scoring with a low shot.

 Bolton Lads Club 1 – 1 Fir Tree FC (Bolton Lads Club won 4-2 on penalties)

The cup holders struggled in this competitive match against a skilful looking but under-strength Fir Tree side. The visitors had scraped together a 10 man starting team due to traffic problems. Despite this they led within 15 minutes when Steve Marsh fired home. Fir Tree continued to dominate the first half, and only the post and then the crossbar kept their score to 1. Inevitably one goal wasn't enough, and pressure in the second half from the Bolton side eventually told when Jeff Brooks lobbed home from 15 yards out. 10 man Fir tree continued to create chances, but neither side could break he deadlock.
Bolton Lads scored all their first 4 penalties, and ran out 4-2 winners.
