Stocksbridge Park Steels enjoyed their most emphatic win of the season with the 5-0 demolition of Market Drayton Town at Bracken Moor.
The victory moves Chris Hilton’s men closer to the safety line in the Evo Stik Division One South.
Brad Grayson led the way with a hat-trick which started in the fifth minute when Town’s defensive line fell apart.
Grayson was ultimately the destroyer of Town as Stocksbridge’s second goal came from his deflected shot which was credited as an own goal to Alex Hedley.
The striker tore through the hopeless Town defence for the third goal.
Danny Critchlow added the fourth with a close range finish before Grayson rounded off the victory with a sublime finish.
