St Helens Town 4 Atherton Colls 0

"IT was all about chances," said Colls Emile Anderson after seeing his team beaten 4-0 by hot NWCL Division One title favourites St Helens.

"We created as many as they did but didn't take them. They put away everything that came their way."

A goal down after 22 minutes Colls almost levelled three minutes later but Ross McNair's header hit the bar. 3-0 down by 80 minutes McNair limped out of the action with all three subs already used and the game was played out a man short. The Kensite man of the match award was jointly shared by Nicky Fisher and Adam Lawrence.
