Stone 1 Atherton LR 0: A FAILURE to take their chances cost Atherton LR dear as they were beaten in a Staffordshire downpour.
Paul Donnelly's second-half winner secured three NW Counties First Division points for Stone after LR failed to clear a left-wing cross.
LR played well but could not score. Phil Howard had a shot tipped on to the bar, and Steve Settle fired wide.
Goalkeeper Adam Lavin made an impressive debut for LR, but could do nothing about Donnelly's winner.
