Bolton Over 35 Veterans' Football League

The only game played in the Bolton Over 35s Football League on Sunday was the Division Two game between Little Lever Sports Club and Bolton Wyresdale in Week 14, which should have been the last week of the league season, but there are forty games outstanding, mostly down to adverse weather.

The only game was a one-sided affair in which Little Lever Sports Club beat Bolton Wyresdale by eight goals to one. Ben Wells scored a hat-trick, Ryan Hall a brace with Craig Bingham, Liam Parkinson and Mick Jones adding one each. Mark Grundy scored the consolation effort for Wyresdale.

In Division One, Old Boltonians conceded to leaders De La Salle and Boothstown Dunmare conceded to Royal Farnworth. Both defaulting teams have had one point deducted and incurred a fine.

Royal have jumped up to third in the table, but they have played more games than the other teams in the Division.

Six of the outstanding league games have been arranged for next Sunday (14th December) and a further six for Sunday 4th January 2026. These will be followed by the first round of the Sam Ashworth knockout Trophy on January 11th. The Sam Ashworth Trophy involves teams from both Divisions, so with 14 teams in all, there will be six games in the first round with two teams having a bye.

Division 1 :   Boothstown Dunmare conceded to Royal Farnworth  and  Old Boltonians conceded to De La Salle.

Division 2:   Little Lever Sports Club 8  Bolton Wyresdale 1.
