Callum Barlow hit a half century for Atherton
ATHERTON moved above Astley and Tyldesley into fourth place in the Bolton Association after winning by three wickets at home to their local rivals.
The visitors posted 154-8 as both Dave Harrison (36) and Aaron Booth (32) made decent knocks while Joshua Gilluley (3-34) finished with the best bowling figures for Atherton.
A rain delay left the home side chasing a revised target of 142, and while A&T bowler Jimmy Cutt took 4-33 he was unable to stop Atherton passing their target following a half century from Callum Barlow (58) and a quick-fire 26 from Paul Walsh added 26 late in the innings.
