Five of the best for Celtic

Simon Haworth's Stalybridge Celtic picked up an eye-catching 5-2 win over FC United at Bower Fold.
Celtic were 2-0 up at half time, thanks to goals from Marcus Dackers and Jay Fitzmartin.
Brad Holmes pulled one back a couple of minutes after the restart to give FC hope, but it wasn't to be today.
Justin Johnson restored the home side's two goal lead, and Dackers' second of the game ended the game as a contest.
Sam Wedgbury completed the rout on 66 minutes, with Holmes netting a consolation in the last minute.

Celtic have moved above FC in the table, and the two sides lie 13th and 14th respectively.

Radcliffe and Atherton Colls pick up points

Radcliffe left it late, but picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Gainsborough Trinity.

Lewis Butroid's 61st minute goal looked to have secured a narrow win for the home side, but Lee Fowler's side were not to be beaten today.

Robert Grant's 89th minute equaliser secured a precious point for Radcliffe as they look to build on last weekend's FA Cup win at Mossley and climb the table.

Atherton Collieries also drew 1-1 in their game at Stafford Rangers.

Matthew Gillam had put the visitors ahead, but the home side equalised late on through Tom Tonks.

Atherton and Radcliffe are 11th and 18th in the NPL Premier table respectively.

Elsewhere, two goals from Nathan Ntalu were not enough to stop Ashton United falling to a 3-2 defeat at Lancaster City.  Hyde United lost 1-0 at Whitby Town.

Mossley in seventh heaven

Mason Fawns hit a hat-trick as Mossley demolished Market Drayton Town 7-1 away from home.

The Lilywhites are in a rich vein of form in the league and are keeping early leaders Workington honest at the top of the table.

Harry Pratt, Levi Phillips, Will Shepherd and Kane Hickman all got on the scoresheet as David Fish's side ran riot.

Josh Brown gave the home side a consolation goal with a minute left on the clock.

Mossley are in second place and have won all of their league games this month.

Elsewhere, it was a day to forget for Ramsbottom United, who went down 5-0 away at Bootle.
