THE Atherton derby honours sit well and truly in the Colls' camp this season.
On Monday Alan Lord's team inflicted a second heavy defeat in just seven days on their big rivals from across town.
The 4-1 win followed hot on the heels of the 4-2 Christmas victory at Crilly Park and leaves LR deep in Division One relegation danger. Three goals in the opening 17 minutes from Luke Hardman, Mark Parry (penalty) and Mark Fitton put Colls in the driving seat.
Former Colls player Jimmy Flood reduced the arrears on 42 minutes, Colls player Colin Lomas was red-carded on 80 minutes before MoM Hardman grabbed the fourth goal.
Outstanding player for LR was Paul Meridith with keeper Mark Winstanley another strong contender.
