Lilywhites share six goals in a thriller

STRIKER Dougie Carroll bagged a couple of goals as Mossley played out a hugely entertaining 3-3 home Evo-Stik League Division One North draw against Farsley Celtic.

Now with little to play for in the league except pride, the Lilywhites got themselves off to a flying start at Seel Park as Carroll and Dave Short fired their side two clear inside the opening 10 minutes.

However, by the half-time interval the Yorkshire outfit were back on level terms thanks to two goals from Aiden Savory.

Robert O’Brien put Celtic in the lead with just 17 minutes to go, but up popped Carroll to secure Mossley a point in the closing stages.
