PAUL ROBINSON celebrated his 21st birthday in champagne style.
The Golborne strike bowler demolished Little Hulton's much-vaunted attack with a stunning 4-28 as they fell was a poor 119.
That proved a simple target for the Bolton Vimto Association champions, who won with four wickets to spare.
And Paul was in the runs, too, hitting a smart 36.
Another youngster making his mark with both bat and ball for Golborne was Barry Greenwood. The 18-year-old took 3-20 and followed up with a knock of 23.
Atherton victory hopes were denied by a stubborn last-wicket partnership from Astley & Tyldesley.
Paul Brown looked to have set up a win with a spell of 4-12 but A&T held out for the last three overs to finish on 112-9.
Earlier Atherton had scored 142-8 with Andy Hall hitting 41, Karl Gorse snatching 4-25.
