Holker Old Boys pulled off a fine win at NW Counties Division One leaders Droylsden.

It was only The Bloods third defeat of the season and they still lead by four points.

Holker had slipped down the table after recent set-backs but were up for this one, clinching the win at the death.

Tom Dawson, who had started the season at Workington, returned to his former club and grabbed the only goal of the game in the fourth minute of time added on at the end.

That lifted the Old Boys to seventh, just a point off the play-off places and seven behind Droylsden with three games in hand.

In the West Lancashire League there were contrasting fortunes for the two Cumbrian sides involved in Premier Division action.

Millom were 6-2 winners over Coppull United while Milnthorpe Corinthians went down 4-0 at second in the table Haslingden St Mary’s.

Ben McDonald, whose goal-scoring feats early in the season had carried Millom to the top of the table, refound his touch in front of goal with a hat-trick inside nine minutes during the second-half.

The other goals came from Lee Postlethwaite, Callum High and Jackson Evans.

Milnthorpe stay bottom after their defeat as two goals in each half earned St Mary’s the points.

The Corinthians had been hoping for a big performance at home after just going 1-0 at Haslingden in the Richardson Cup last week.
