In 1885 Hurst beat Newton Heath (forerunners of Manchester United) 3–0 in the final of the inaugural Manchester Senior Cup. Later the same year a Lancashire Cup Tie against FA Cup holders Blackburn Rovers set a ground attendance record of over 9,000.<\/P>","8F733ECBE2B2AD88":"Ashton-under-Lyne","90CF36599B563A1A70185DBDF0E99AA3":"","41780118C08E58E3":"","4215859A20E707AF2C0683BB3A054242":"18","34A0AE9CBA0644B6":"http:\/\/www.pitchero.com\/clubs\/ashtonunited\/","EB91D699086F1F17846A1216AD2083C3":"","A3B3C821F4815DD2":"5569","1CD1A53514962B6A":"1","A63262DC1BB20D85":"","892B81E13FEE84C5":"","4DC924206DB9E0EBA198EE9667325C9F":"","74BFD6A545ABAB8E":"Ashton United","9770E443802D7F63":"","e_index":3};
