Chadderton triumph in local derby battle

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL:

CHADDERTON earned the bragging rights in the Vodkat North West Counties League derby with Oldham Boro yesterday.

A hat-trick from Adam Edwards gave Chadderton a 3-1 home win over their close rivals.

Edwards struck twice in the first half before an own goal from Greenidge gave Boro hope. However, Edwards completed his treble in the 75th minute.

Chadderton's division one fixture at Leek CSOB on Saturday was postponed. Oldham Boro were without a match on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Mossley had to come from behind twice to beat AFC Fylde 4-2 at Seel Park on Good Friday.

Trailing to a Danny Monkton effort, they equalised through striker Mike Fish at the midway point of the first half.

Mossley were behind for a second time just after the hour mark - Michael Barnes swept the ball home - but goals from leading scorer Matty Kay, Steve Settle and Kay again ended a run of two straight two defeats for the Lilywhites.
