Mossley are on target for the play-offs

MOSSLEY moved up to sixth place in the Evo-Stik League Division One North table thanks to a convincing 4-1 home victory against Radcliffe Borough.

The in-form Lilywhites have won six out of the last seven league games and now lie just a place outside the play-off berths.

Tom Dean got Mossley off the mark with a ninth-minute strike, before Mitchell Bryant produced a great finish to double the lead.

Borough’s deficit was halved by Bevan Burey, but the Lilywhites made it 3-1 before the interval thanks to Mike Fish’s goal.

WELL-DESERVED

Skipper Andy Keogh wrapped up a well-deserved victory with just six minutes to go.

Mossley turn their attention to the Dootson Cup tomorrow night when they travel to Ossett Albion for a first-round tie (7.45pm kick-off).

q CHADDERTON’S North-West Counties League Reusch First Division Cup second-round tie at St Helens Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

No date has yet been set for the rearranged tie.

Chaddy are back in First Division action on Saturday when they host Barnton.
