FC Isle of Man suffer 3-1 defeat against Atherton Laburnum Rovers

Ravens sit 19th in the NWCFL Premier Division table

FC Isle of Man slipped to a 3-1 defeat on their trip to Atherton Laburnum Rovers in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division.

The home side opened the scoring just before half time, but a Charlie Higgins penalty levelled the scores early in the second half.

It took Atherton just three minutes to regain their advantage, while a second goal on the night from George Chadwick sealed the win for the hosts in the final 10 minutes.

The loss is the Ravens' fourth in their last five outings, leaving the side 19th in the table and 14 points clear of the relegation zone.

FC Isle of Man will be in action again on Saturday when they host Ramsbottom United at the Bowl.
