Racing Club climb to second after routing Griff
Griff came into the game on the back of a first win for new manager Brett Clarke but the home side got off to a rip-roaring start when Ben Mackey fired home in the fifth minute.
Goalkeeper Charlie Bannister, who has turned his loan into a permanent deal, pulled off a fine save to his right minutes later as Griff looked for a way back.

Luke Cole continued his rich goalscoring form with the third in the 38th minute to effectively kill off the game.
Jak Jeys opened his Racing Club account 16 minutes into the second half, stepping up to send a delightful free-kick over the keeper after Joe Smith had been brought down on the edge of the box.
With man-of-the-match Rich Powell driving down the left and putting in quality balls, Racing looked a threat time and again and the returning Adam Knight showed his strength to power through and drill in a fifth in the 80th minute.
