THORPE United Under-15s stayed top of Garforth Junior Football League division one with a 7-0 success at Garforth Villa.

Thorpe enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and comfortable overturned the disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Garforth last month.

The visitors were unable to break the deadlock in the first half despite creating a string of chances, but the floodgates opened in the second period.

After the break, Richard Buckthorpe latched onto a long clearance and the deftest of touches took the ball beyond the Villa ’keeper to open the scoring.

Buckthorpe made it two with a fine individual goal and he completed his hat-trick moments later.

Jamie Hardaker scored on a rebound and man of the match Jordan Emery combined with Buckthorpe to force an own goal.

Emery’s corner then hit a post and Lewis Griffiths blasted the ball in, and Corey Littlefield completed the rout.
