DROYLSDEN marched five points clear at the top of the UniBond premier division last night with an amazing 5-4 home win over Radcliffe after they trailed throughout.

Ian Bishop sidefooted Boro ahead after just five minutes and, though Danny Byrne soon equalised, the visitors were 3-1 up with less than a quarter of the game gone after Simon Carden struck twice in quick succession.

Gareth Morris reduced the arrears with a deflected free-kick just before the break, but Droylsden looked sunk when Davey Luker restored Radcliffe's two-goal advantage within a minute of the restart.

But there's simply no stopping the Bloods at the moment and, after Dave Cameron had brought the score back to 4-3, two goals in as many minutes by Steve Brodie and Neil Hall completed a remarkable comeback. Tweet
