Fish is far too elusive for Market

- By Francesca Doran

MOSSLEY AFC proved far too good for Market Drayton as they thrashed the visitors 5-1 on a comfortabl­e afternoon.

The hosts took the lead when on 29 minutes Max Leonard drove through the middle of the park and unleashed a venomous strike that beat the keeper from 20 yards. After the break the home side doubled their lead when a cross from Mike Fish was turned into his own net by a Drayton defender.

Max Leonard grabbed his brace soon after but Market Drayton did get a consolatio­n goal when Will Wells finished following a break led by Dan Beddows.

Fish then got his second assist of the day when he laid the ball off to Ben Halfacre, who cooly finished to put the result beyond any reasonable doubt.

And the same duo combined again to complete the scoring when Halfacre finished another Fish cross to cap off a highly satisfacto­ry performanc­e. STAR MAN: Mike Fish (Mossley) ENTERTAINM­ENT: ★★★★★
