A dominant Ilkley swept away their hosts, Armthorpe Welfare on Saturday to rise into the NCEL Division One play-off places.

Jay Harris, Luke Baldwin, Kevin Gonzalez and Alfie Dean all found themselves on the scoresheet as the visitors claimed a routine 4-2 victory.

The Baht’atters, apart from two late consolation goals, rarely looked threatened and were 2-0 up at the interval with strikes coming from Harris and Baldwin.

Gonzalez and Dean added further goals after the break to see Sam Dexter’s team race into a 4-0 lead.

Thomas Joynt (penalty) and Andrew Wright did add two quickfire goals for the hosts in the space of one minute, but Ilkley held on to a well-deserved three points.

For Town, they host Athersley Recreation this evening (8:00 pm), before travelling to Brigg Town on Saturday.
