NORTHERN Counties East League side Liversedge were completely outclassed as Chorley produced another exhilarating display of high-tempo attacking football to march on past the FA Cup preliminary round.

Once again the Magpies had the proceedings sewn up after an hour, a three-goal burst in the space of five minutes extending their two-nil half-time lead to five.

An outstanding feature of the game was the quality of Chorley's crosses, notably from skipper Darren Emmett.

The pattern of the afternoon was set in the opening minutes when the visitors' defence was opened up only for Lee Wilkinson to miss two simple chances.

He atoned midway through the half by smartly heading home a tremendous touchline cross from the hard-working Ian Barker and then put Chorley two up five minutes before the interval from Emmett's defence-splitting through ball.

Emmett again supplied a superb early cross but the inrushing Dean Butterworth could not quite hit the target with a third goal beckoning. Mark Meehan got in Liversedge's first worthwhile shot minutes after the restart but Mark Molyneaux held it well under pressure.

Then the tie came to the boil in five explosive minutes. Emmett coolly made it three-nil from the spot after Wilkinson was bowled over and almost at once Wilkinson claimed a hat-trick with a deft header from a great left-wing cross by Jamie Bates.

A minor skirmish off the ball followed, resulting in Chorley's Dean Butterworth and Liversedge's Rob Morris being shown the red card. The fireworks, however, were still not over, as Barker stole in to finish off yet another incisive centre from Emmett to make it five.

The remaining half hour was merely academic.Chorley introduced three substitutes and eased up, allowing Liversedge their best spell of the match.

Matt Sykes should have done better than blaze over when clean through on goal and in the closing minutes Molyneaux pulled off a fine diving save to prevent Meehan grabbing a consolation goal with a stinging low drive.
