FARSLEY CELTIC moved back to the top of the Evo-Stik League Premier Division following their hard-fought 2-1 victory at Hyde United yesterday.

Farsley took the lead on 31 minutes when Will Hayhurst swung in a cross from the left wing, which Nathan Cartman headed superbly into the bottom corner.

But the hosts hit back after 63 minutes. The ball was played into the box and brought down by Dominic Smalley, who with his back to goal, swivelled and fired the ball past Kyle Trenerry.

Celtic pressed forward for a winner and were rewarded with six minutes to go.

Warrington Town’s 3-2 home defeat to Stafford ensured Farsley moved two points clear at the top of the league.
