LEALHOLM'S recent good form continued with a home win over Hollybush.
The first half was a scrappy affair with the strong wind preventing any good football.
Lealholm could have finished the first half with a three-goal lead but had two penalty appeals turned down.
But they took a lead into the interval as a corner from Andy Raw found Holgate who scored from 12 yards.
The wind died down in the second half and both teams played better football.
Hollybush seemed to have the advantage until, against the run of play, Morgan broke down the left and pulled the ball back for Andy Raw to pass for Duncan Raw whose shot from outside the area went in off a post.
Five minutes later, Andy Raw put in another good cross which was missed by one striker and found Brown to make it 3-0.
Hollybush piled on the pressure in an attempt to get back into the game but made no impact until sub Heelin tapped in a consolation goal in injury-time.
Result: Lealholm 3 Hollybush 1
