A GRAHAM Lightbown hat-trick sent Great Harwood through to the next round of the Worthington Challenge Trophy against Second Division high-flyers Stand.

The striker's first came from a free kick after just 10 minutes. He curled the kick low inside Tommy Allen's right-hand post after being felled by Lee Anderson.

A minute into the second half Lightbown doubled the visitors' lead and completed his hat-trick later in the half after a fine move through Slater down the left.

Stand embarked on a fightback in the final 10 minutes, Chris Denham converting an Alan Dixon cross and then, with two minutes to go, scoring with a header off a Stuart Telfer cross, but it was too little too late.

RESULT: STAND...2 GREAT HARWOOD...3
