FA Cup misery

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: IT was a miserable weekend for our two local sides in FA Cup action, with Chadderton and Mossley crashing out in the preliminary round.

Paul Buckley’s Chadderton suffered a 1-0 home loss to Northern Counties East League side Maltby Main, for whom Craig Gladwin scored a 20th minute winner.

And Mossley were beaten 3-0 by Bootle, from the North-West Counties League, at Seel Park.

Jack Gray scored in the seventh minute and player-manager Neil Prince doubled the lead soon afterwards, before Gray left the Lilywhites 50 shades of red by completing the rout early in the second half.
