The new season for the Bolton Over 35s Football League started on Sunday with six teams in each of the two Divisions. In Division One, Royal Farnworth made a flying start with a 5-0 home win over newly promoted Elton Vale Vets. Paul Campbell scored two of the goals with J.Smith, C.Smith and K.Jones adding one apiece. AFC Bolton Morris Dancers suffered a 4-1 home defeat to Atherton Town Pirates playing their first match in the top Division. Mitchell Leece scored the home side goal, but they were undone by a Paul Hesford double and one each by David Fashou and M.Day for the visitors. The other top tier game was between Turton FC and Little Lever Sports Club Vets, both promoted. They had a delayed start at 1.00pm because the pitch was not available at 11.00am as Turton’s under 18s teams was playing then. Glen Hulton scored both goals for Turton, but Little Lever won 5-2 thanks to a Ben Wells double and a goal each by Tom Schofield, Steve Leonard and Glen Euxton. In Division Two, Chris Collins and Rob Beatty goals gave Bolton Wyresdale FC Vets a 2-1 home victory over Stoneclough Vets for whom Ellis Phillips was on target. Although Steve Lockett and A.Tlkuleny scored one each for Deans Youth & Ladies Vets, they were no match for Old Boltonians for whom Adam Levin netted a brace as Scott Hope and Matt Elliott scored one each to give the visitors a 4-2 win. East Leigh opened their campaign against League newcomers Rogue Wanderers and the teams shared the points from a one apiece draw. K.Parker scored for East Leigh and Lindford Stewart for the visitors. |
