Elsewhere in the top-flight, Thornton Cleveleys’ game at Tempest United was postponed and Poulton weren’t in action.

As a result, Thornton’s lead at the top was cut to a single point as Burscough Richmond thrashed Southport Hesketh 6-2. Thornton still find themselves in a strong position with the luxury of four games in hand.

Division one’s bottom club Wyre Villa picked up an extraordinary win, thrashing second-placed Leyland United 5-1 away from home.

They had to come from behind to do so after Ashley Farlow gave Stoneclough an eighth-minute lead.

Will Lavender levelled for the hosts before John Waite gave Lytham a 2-1 lead on the half-hour mark. Mark Chuffer equalised for Stoneclough ut Danny Thompson netted eight minutes from time to send the points Lytham’s way.
