Nantwich Town moved to within a point of the top five in the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League's Premier Division after a comprehensive 4-0 win at the Weaver Stadium over second-bottom Skelmersdale United, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

Traffic problems on the M6meant that the kick-off had to be delayed for 25 minutes but it was only 10 minutes old when Matty Bell put the Dabbers in front. Joe Mwasile added a second for the hosts in the 27th minute and just before the hour-mark, Skem were reduced to ten-men when Kenny Strickland was sent-off after a strong challenge on Sam Hall.

Andy White added a third for the home side in the 80th minute and then, two minutes from time, substitute Theo Stair picked up his second yellow card for an alleged dive to even the numbers up on the pitch. Despite the blow, the Dabbers made it 4-0 in stoppage time with a second from Bell.
