Our first pre-season game of the season ends in a 1-1 draw.

Atherton took an early lead but this was cancelled out by Jordan Slew in thed 23rd minute.

The home side had a chance to take the lead in the second half via a penalty but this was saved by our ‘keeper.

A mx of academy players, triallists and first teamers with, as Neil says in his post match interview, the aim of looking at a few more players and getting minutes into the legs on what was a baking hot day.
