Chadderton took on Atherton LR in what was a rather dramatic game.
Theo Andrew tapped home after really good wing play by Jack Banister, and that gave Chaddy a 1-0 lead heading into the break. Then in the second half, Chadderton were deadly in attack and found the net again! A stunning volley by new signing Jack Banister in the 52nd minute gave Chadderton a much deserved 2-0 lead. Chadderton would proceed to then dominate the majority of the second half.
Then with two minutes to go, Atherton LR got one back. It was their first chance of the game really, and then would proceed to get another with 2 minutes left of stoppage time. With the last chance of the game, late substitute Adam Dale hit a superb volley, but it was blocked by the Atherton defender. The game would then end 2-2, and Atherton scraped a point at the Emplas. Chaddy’s next game is at home, as they face FC St Helens on Saturday 14th November.
