Glossop North End responded to a lacklustre first half with a second 45 three goal salvo that lifted them into the top half of the table in a night of spectacular goals in Chorlton.

Despite starting brightly, with Tom Bailey looking lively and forcing the keeper to save with his legs and then lifting a shot from a tight angle just over the bar, things started to go wrong for the Hillmen when conceding in the 22^nd minute.

The Hillmen stormed into the second round of the FA Vase on Saturday sweeping aside their West Yorkshire opponents in a dominant display in which although Sam Hare scored a hat trick, you wouldn’t want to single out a player for special praise.  It was a ruthless team performance.  At times the two division gap in the league pyramid between the two teams was made to look like a gulf.

North End bounced back from surprise defeat at the weekend with a comprehensive win against a poor Winsford United side. The breakthrough took a while, but once the Hillmen had grabbed the lead the result was never in doubt.
