Home tie for schoolboys

OLDHAM under-15s have received a plum home draw against Ellesmere Port in Round 2 of this season’s ESFA Inter-Association Football Trophy.

The prestigious national inter-association knockout trophy has attracted 167 entries and it is the 99th year that the competition has been run.

Last season’s competition was won by Liverpool after they beat Brighton & Hove 4-2 at Goodison Park.

And Oldham, who were fortunate to receive a first-round bye, will be hoping to go all the way this time round.

Ties to be played by October 25.
