CLAYTON opened the scoring after 15 minutes with a simple tap-in, then Hollingworth grabbed two quick goals, and Clayton added a fourth.

Moments later, Colne pulled one back after a mix-up in the Ribchester defence, but on the stroke of half time Hollingworth completed his hat trick.

In the second period, there was a string of excellent saves by the Rock keeper, but he was beaten again by a Parkinson volley.

Parkinson then scored his second, but to their credit, Rock never gave it up and the impressive Harrison scored a great individual goal.

Man of the match was D Walsh.

Ribchester take on Goodshaw United away tomorrow.
