RADCLIFFE BORO are just one point above the Evo Stik Division One North relegation zone after a 5-1 defeat at Kendal Town.

The hosts took an early lead before Matt Landregan poked home an equaliser for Boro. Kendal, despite seeing Rob Wilson send a penalty wide, restored the lead just four minutes later.

After the break an unfortunate Daniel Lafferty own goal all but sealed a victory for the home side.

Cheetham found himself picking the ball out of the net for a fourth time, after a deflected effort from outside the box found its way home. The rout was completed by Kendal shortly before the full time whistle.

Boro face home games against Burscough and Cammell Laird on Boxing Day and Saturday.
