Glasshoughton Welfare move up table with double success


After a narrow defeat on the opening day of the new season, Welfare have bounced back well to pick up nine points and were in particularly impressive form on Saturday away to FC Humber United.
Two goals in each half gave them a convincing 4-0 win as Daniel Youel, Aaron Gray, Adam Hayton and Lewis Stephens were all on target.
