Farsley Celtic 6-0 Droylsden
Paddy Miller scored for Farsley Celtic
Farsley Celtic gave their play-offs hopes a massive shot in the arm after the hammering of struggling Droylsden at Throstle Nest.
Farsley are within two points of fifth-placed Burscough with eleven games remaining.
The Celts blew Droylsden away with a clinical first half display which saw them score four times in 23 minutes.
The opener from Aiden Savory was a simple tap-in, the second was a looping header from the unmarked Paddy Miller, who met Lewis Nightingale.
Red-hot midfielder Nightingale pledged his immediate future to the Celts this week and he added another to the growing catalogue with an easy finish.
The first half rout was completed by Chris Howarth. The job was done, but Farsley still had two more goals in the locker in the second half.
Aaron Hardy scored from the penalty spot for number five and Leon Osborne wrapped up the victory with his first touch after coming on as a substitute.
