Sultan rulkes for in-form Athletic

GPO's Steven Grimshaw and Failsworth's Levi Morris compete for possession

MATCH OF THE DAY

Oldham GPO 2, Failsworth Athletic 4

FAILSWORTH Athletic recorded their fifth consecutive win when they overcame Oldham GPO in the D and J Builders (North-West) Ltd Oldham Sunday League David Giblin Division One at Snipe Clough.

Relegated last season from the Jack Abbott Premier Division after a long and illustrious spell, there are signs that a swift return could well be on the cards for Athletic.

They have been infused with fresh blood due to replace many of the long-serving and extremely loyal members of the side.

One of the newcomers, Niall Sultan, really does look a class act and scored a brace of goals.

Athletic secretary Graham Speakman said: "No one is getting carried away by our recent run of form and a season of consolidation wouldn't do us any harm.

"We deserved the win against GPO because we worked hard and took our chances well.
