RADCLIFFE Amateurs maintained their seven point lead at the top of the LAL Premiership with a thundering 6-0win over visiting Hesketh Casuals.

Two first half goals from Shaun Scully and Brett Hannah did not flatter Radcliffe who had far more of the play than Hesketh.

The second period brought two goals from centre half Simon Gugniewicz, a second from Hannah and a superb shot from Wayne Dalton made it six for Radcliffe.

With half of the season's games now played Radcliffe need to maintain the momentum to see them through to a successful second period.
