Farsley Celtic are on the brink of relegation from the National League North following a 4-0 defeat at Spennymoor Town.
The Celts are bottom of the league, have suffered 11 straight defeats and haven’t won since a 3-1 victory at Curzon Ashton on Boxing Day.
Travelling Farsley fans couldn’t have asked anything more from their young side, who gave 100 per cent against more experienced opponents in County Durham yesterday.
The home side dominated the game throughout.
Corey McKeown opened the scoring on the 24th minute, tapping home from a few yards out, before Matty Dolan thumped a fine free kick in off the post for Moors’ second of the afternoon.
Glen Taylor headed home for 3-0 just before half time. And substitute Aidan Rutledge found the net 20 minutes from time, prodding home from a Junior Mondal cross.
Farsley had goalkeeper Will Brook to thank for keeping the score down as the youngsters kept playing for their shirts until the final whistle.
Farsley have just seven games left of a disastrous season which has been plagued by off-field problems, including playing ‘home’ games 70 miles away in Buxton after an aborted attempt to lay a new 4G pitch at The Citadel.
Farsley Celtic sit 17 points from safety with just seven games remaining.
