Ash Flynn scored four times for AFC Emley
Ash Flynn struck four times as AFC Emley closed in on leaders Penistone Church with the very straightforward 6-0 win over Worsbrough Bridge.
Their seventh consecutive league victory has put them two points behind local rivals Penistone, who have the benefit of a game in hand.
Emley had the game sown up in the first half. Aaron Joseph fired the first bullet with a close range finish before Flynn opened his account after breaking clear.
Flynn and captain Kieran Ryan put Emley four in front before the interval.
The chances flowed for Emley in the second half, but they weren’t as clinical. Flynn netted twice more, with one coming from the penalty spot.
