Reuben Taylor fired Boro ahead with a great 20-yard strike into the far corner.

A slick pass forward from Ben Gibson found Finlay Hopper who turned chipped it to Josh Simpson whose touch lifted it up for him to volley it into the net.

With the Boro defence holding firm, Ryder Greening made it 3-0 just before half time.

Marauding left-back Gibson made it 4-0 before man of the match Adam Amiche and a second from Taylor made it six.

In a closely fought first half Dale took the lead before Scalby’s Max Baldwin went through on goal from a precise Oscar Jennison pass and brought the visitors level.

Scalby came out strong in the second half and in a player of the match performance, Jenninson was then on the scoresheet with two well taken individual goals.

Baldwin then got his second goal in very similar fashion to the first with an assist from Kobi Malone.

A great penalty save from Scalby keeper Nik Smith stopped Thornton getting a foothold back into the game before a fifth Scalby goal came from a Malone corner which was brilliantly finished with an excellent volley into the roof of the net from Reegan Taylor.
