Goals galore as Moulton Harrox crush title rivals Thorney in PFA Senior Cup

Three players helped themselves to doubles as Moulton Harrox thrashed fellow ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division high-fliers Thorney 7-0 in the PFA Senior Cup on Saturday.

Tom Panton, Joe Townsend and Marcus Parry each netted twice, with Declan Earth getting the other in a dominant display from Kev Nottingham’s side at Campbell Drive.

Harrox – who are joined in the semi-finals by Ketton, Whittlesey Athletic and Stamford Lions – are hoping to go one better than last season, when they were beaten 4-2 by Netherton United in the final.

Moulton are now without a game until January 19 and could see their seven-point lead at the top of the PDFL Premier Division cut.
