BARNOLDSWICK ended their worst run of the season in emphatic fashion with a thumping 4-1 win over Squires Gate.

Despite fielding an understrength side, Town proved to be too strong for the Blackpool outfit.

It ended a run of three straight defeats and was the first win in five games.

Aaron Hollindrake headed Barlick in front just after the break and then doubled the lead just four minutes later with another header.

Robbie Smith made it 3-0 with a clever chip in the 71st minute. He added his second with six minutes remaining before Town old boy Joe Skelmerdine scored late on for Squires Gate.
