Cup exit heartache

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: CHADDERTON’S Manchester Premier Cup dream was shattered last night when they were beaten 4-1 at home by Ashton United in the quarter-final.

Paul Buckley’s side produced a determined performance but found themselves a goal down at the break, Jon Bathurst on target after 39 minutes.

Sam Madeley doubled the advantage three minutes after the interval, before James Curley pulled a goal back for the hosts with 20 minutes remaining.

But Bathurst’s second of the game soon followed, and Marlin Piana wrapped up the win in the 88th minute.
