MATTY Swailes struck a 17 minute hat-trick to put Atherton Colls just one game away from retaining the Goldline Trophy.
Colls thrashed Charnock Richards in a repeat of last season's final to reach this season's showpiece.
Swailes first came as early as the third minute from the edge of the box, but there was an element of lucky to his second when Barry Edge fumbled and the striker headed home. One minute later he raced clear to net his third.
Colls will discover their final opponenets next Wednesday when Atherton LR take on Prestwich Heys in the second semi.
