Atherton Collieries
Prescot Cables
Atherton Collieries got the job done against Prescot Cables with a disciplined, low-drama performance built on two clinical finishes either side of half-time. Ben Rydel's 25th-minute opener gave the home side control they never relinquished, and they carried that composure into the second half before Kielen Adams doubled the lead in the 67th minute to put the tie beyond doubt. The lack of cards or major flashpoints suggests this was more about game management than chaos, with Atherton dictating tempo rather than needing to grind out a nervy win. For Prescot Cables, the cup exit will sting given the lack of any real response on the scoresheet, while Atherton march on with confidence heading into their next fixture.
