PADIHAM progressed through to the third round of the Division Two Trophy at the expense of local rivals Darwen before a decent crowd at the Arbories.
Padiham, who lead the way at the top of NWCL Division Two, raced into the lead on three minutes courtesy of Mark Westhead.
Stuart Telfer doubled the hosts' advantage on the hour mark to give Padiham boss Steve Wilkes a sweet victory against his old side.
