BOLTON Ladies second team showed the class behind their 100 per cent winning league record this season with a resounding 4-0 victory over Bury.

The local ladies have won all six of their games so far in the Greater Manchester Hockey Association Division Two.

Bolton were expecting a tough game with Bury also looking to push for promotion, but Bolton never looked back after finding their slick passing game and going ahead though Sophie Crank after 15 minutes who deflected in a cross into the D.

Jenny Brookfield doubled the lead and Bolton missed the opportunity to kill off their derby rivals as they wasted a number of chances before Brookfield carried the ball from the halfway and fired home the third goal just before half time.

Crank completed the scoring from a rebound in the second half as Bolton stood firm in defence and claimed the local bragging rights with another stylish show.

Bolton Ladies' first team are fifth in the North League Division One after losing 3-1 at home to second-placed Kirkby Stephen.

Bolton men's third team made it back-to-back victories for the first time this season with a 7-0 victory over Golborne that saw them pull away from the relegation zone in the North West League Division Five North/South.

Reece Greenwood broke the deadlock after a frustrating opening 15 minutes, slotting home the rebound after Wahid Khan's shot was saved.

The second goal followed 10 minutes later when Matt Rimmer's shot was deflected in by Andy Hill.

Bolton went goal crazy in the second half with man of the match Greenwood grabbing three more and Hill adding another two to complete his hat-trick.

The men's fourth team fought out a 1-1 draw at home to Didsbury Northern.

The visitors took the lead on 15 minutes after Chris Williams first made a great tackle then miss-hit the ball across the face goal straight to the Didsbury centre forward who gave keeper Ed Bailey no chance.

In-form Bolton then started to find their form and, with Thomas Mair causing problems down the right, it was surprising they failed to find the equaliser before half time.

The leveller eventually came when Mair forced a penalty corner which Robert Lord expertly slotted away.

Bolton men's first team are seventh in the North West League Division Two after drawing 2-2 at home to Macclesfield who are one place below them.

The men's 2Xl conceded two goals in each half to succumb to a 4-0 defeat at second-placed Southport in the North West League Division Four North.
