Clay Cross Town extended their lead at the top of the Central Midlands North Division to 12 poiints after a 8-1 win at Phoenix FC.

A similar goal followed on 35 minutes when Josh Scully scored his first of the afternoon. When Scully fired into the roof of the net on 43 minutes the Millers were seen to be coasting to victory.

Straight after the interval Callam Lytham showed the hosts no mercy by making it 4-0.

Then a defensive error left the Millers keeper, Ryan Hopkins exposed and Suhail Hussain took the opportunity to slide it into goal.

Normal service was resumed on the hour when a sublime free-kick from Josh Scully earned him his first hat-trick for the club.
