Wigan League Round Up
League & Cup Report 31/10/15
The League had a bad day in the Lancashire Amateur Cup last 32 as they had five losers and only one winner. Winstanley St Aidans take the honours after beating Milton 2-0 at Little Lane. Early play was even but with both sides having chances but on the half hour Andy Hodgkiss edged the Saints ahead a lead they held until the break. Milton hit back strongly as Paul Gibson was the Winstanley hero heading off the line with keeper Dave Naylor beaten. At the other end Dave Quigley fired wide as the home team tried to make the tie safe. As time ran out Mark Ratcliffe rifled in an unstoppable 40 yard shot to send Milton home with nothing
Standish St Wilfs lost 4-3 at Rochdalians with their marksmen Martin Ratcliffe who got two and Dave Fletcher. Andy Sherratt scored Higher Ince's only goal as they were defeated 4-1 by top Manchester outfit Whalley Range.

Atherleigh United were unlucky to go down 3-2 at home to Newchurch with Jimmy Mahon and Chris Hutcheson finding the Newchurch net. Last but not least Wigan Rovers were also unlucky going down 1-0 at Read United.
Newburgh Harrock United go back to the top of Garswood Trophies Premier Division after a 3-2 local derby success at Bickerstaffe.

Pemberton edged out Gidlow Athletic 3-2, Liam Atherton headed them into an early lead but Gidlows Dan Mahoney fired home a beautiful 25 yard goal to level the scores.
