NELSON boosted their league position with their third win in a row at Castleton Gabriels on Saturday.

A superb first half display meant that they had the points in the bag by half time and held a comfortable three-goal lead.

After 10 minutes Neil Chapman headed home Nelson's first goal before Robert Grimes tucked his shot under keeper Mark Canning to double the lead.

Brad Pates instigated the third goal with a long diagonal pass to send Chapman racing clear on the right wing before cutting inside and shooting past Canning for 3-0 after 37 minutes.

Substitute Jason Jones created a goal within a minute of coming on after 63 minutes when he supplied a low cross for Chris Ridehalgh to score the Blues' fourth.
