Lancashire Amateur League, Premier Division
Horwich Victoria 5 Chew Moor Brook 0 (att 10)
This was an important relegation encounter, but how Horwich were ever in danger of going down is anyone's guess. They played some good football and created plenty of chances, taking five of them to add to the 18 they'd managed in their two previous league fixtures.
CMB, as Chew Moor Brook are usually known, played their part in an entertaining game which again showed how good the football is in the Lancashire Amateur League's top division.
Two of the home side's goals were in the first half, and although the win was comfortable the scoreline was a bit harsh on CMB, who deserved a goal for their efforts.
Horwich Victoria's official home ground for this season, and for the last few years, is Bolton Arena, part of the sports complex near the Reebok Stadium. But problems with that venue have led them to seek an alternative ground for recent games, and they seem settled on the all weather pitch at Bolton's Essa Academy.
The complex is new, with an enclosed and floodlit pitch at the rear accessed through the academy buildings. The 3G pitch was pristine, and felt a bit like stepping on a new lounge carpet.
