Blackpool Wren Rovers ended their campaign on a positive note with a 3-1 win against Haslingden St Marys in the West Lancashire Football League Premier Division.

After a quiet first half, Wren Rovers broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second period courtesy of Luke Noble, who then doubled their lead from the penalty spot.

Oscar O’Neil added a third 15 minutes from time, before Haslingden pulled one back shortly afterwards through Henry Hindle – but it turned out to be little more than a consolation.

The result, Wren Rovers’ final game of the season, leaves them ninth in the table, although a number of other sides are yet to complete their fixture list.

However, they now sit in third, seven points off Fulwood and Slyne with Hest who are level on points ahead of the final day.
