Bathurst blast secures semi final place.

Ashton Athletic 4 Bolton Lads Club 0
Atherton Charity Cup Qtr Final
Tuesday 21st April 2009

Ashton coasted through to the Atherton Charity Cup semi final on Tuesday night with a comfortable 4-0 win against Lancashire Amateur Leaguer’s Bolton Lads Club. A hat trick from Jon Bathurst and one from Paul Hynes was enough to secure the semi final birth. Athletic will now travel to neighbours Ashton Town next Tuesday 28th April for a 7.30pm kick off looking to make it through to the final in May and the chance to win the trophy for the third season in a row. Town will have other ideas and their much improved form in the last few months will test Athletic’s determination to the maximum.

Before that Ashton Athletic now prepare for their penultimate league match, and the last home game of the season when they face Alsager Town at Brocstedes Park on Saturday 25th April in a 3pm Kick off. With both teams pushing hard for a 6th place finish in the league a competitive encounter is anticipated.
