His neat footwork took him well clear of several vicious tackles.


Hobson, captain for the day, was a little subdued, but Gill sparkled. The second goal from


a centre by Piryier, was slammed home by the outside-right.


Francis played well until he pulled a thigh muscle midway in the first half. With a little


bit of luck in shooting, he would have scored, particularly when lie turned and left three Bacup defenders flat-footed on the edge
