points record

RIMINGTON added the icing to their league title success with this vic tory over Colne. ’The three points saw
them end the campaign on 67, surpassing H u rs t. Green’s record of 65 set last season. - Once again without a host of key players, the home side took the lead when;a great ball from Lawson set McLean free.
; He chased th e ball down, and even though a defender got there first, he could only head the ball' in th e jp a th of McLean, -who ^rifled home from close range. Danny Patbn made it
2-0, receiving the ball fol lowing good work from Lawson before hammer
ing home. But Colne managed to
drag themselves back into i t when the winger crossed for Bailey to chip a glorious effort over Ker shaw..,, - Rimington’s two-goal
lead was restored when Dinsdale converted Mankowski’s near post flick from a comer, while Paton and McLean were only denied by great
: saves. . ■ However, it was fitting
that Dinsdale completed the scoring, as he swiv elled and fired home from 12 yards.
