Altrincham beat Oldham thanks to Chris Conn-Clarke strike

Chris Conn-Clarke scored the only goal as Altrincham continued their impressive recent form with a 1-0 victory over Greater Manchester rivals Oldham.

A frenetic start to proceedings saw Oldham go close when Ben Tollitt saw his effort go just over the crossbar.

Altrincham also had an early chance when Eddy Jones cut in from the left but his shot was saved by Magnus Norman.
