NELSON slumped to defeat with a disappointing performance at Silsden.

Silsden went ahead after 29 minutes when Michael Rosser's shot was deflected into the Nelson goal with keeper Jim Davis wrong footed.

Three minutes later Davis could only knock away a diagonal shot in his goalmouth and Harry Thompson blasted the loose ball into the roof of the Nelson net.

Nelson were given fresh hope three minutes into the second half when Wayne Morrison placed his shot perfectly past the advancing keeper to reduce the arrears.

But, within a minute, Silsden scored their third goal when Peter Sumner cashed in on a glaring mistake by the Blues defence.

And Aaron Hollindrake completed their misery after 87 minutes with a good finish.
