ASTLEY Villa bounced back from a two-goal deficit at Leigh Sportsmen with Paul McCormack and Lesley Walker scoring in the last 15 minutes to earn a 2-2 Division One draw.

First half goals from Neil Thompson and Jason Pilkington had appeared to put the home team in the driving seat.

A Mark Fishwick strike two minutes into injury time saw Royal Oak to a 3-2 win at Union Arms. Earlier a Lee Cambray goal gave Oak a 1-0 lead by the interval with former Hindsford player Danny Toone levelling on the 50 minute mark. Cambray restored the visitors' lead on the hour only for ex-Atherton LR and Colls player Barry Lowe to make it 2-2 on 68 minutes.

The Division One clash between Moonraker and AFC Limelight finished all square at 1-1 with Gary Renshaw giving the visitors the lead on 31 minutes and Lee Morris earning a point-saver from the penalty spot on 72 minutes.

In Division Two, goals from Stuart McPike, Aaron Green and Brian Hupton saw Hag Fold WMC to a 3-1 win at Three Crowns B, Neil Unsworth getting the consolation for the losers in the next to last minute. Fir Tree Rangers player Danny Rushworth put through his own goal after seven minutes in the game at Atherton CNN with the home side's Steven Guest getting a second goal on 40 minutes in a 2-0 win.

Carl Warrington scored a hat-trick for Atherton Royal to add to a strike from Wane Hampton in a 4-1 win at Asda Golborne. Darren Evans was the home side's goalscorer.

Wayne Sankey and Paul Molyneux matched each other goal for goal with hat-tricks in Howe Bridge Mills' 7-1 home derby win over Sailors and Soldiers. Chris Radcliffe was Mills other scorer with Curtis Cooper on the mark for the losers.
