CHIRK AAA breathed new life into their survival bid with a 5-1 thrashing of a sorry Prestatyn Town on Tuesday night.

The Colliers outclassed their opponents in every department with the match ending the match three minutes early when the floodlights failed at Bastion Gardens.

It was a small mercy for the home side who were put to the sword emphatically by a Chirk side closing on safety.

Dale Davies broke the deadlock inside the opening 10 minutes with Rhys Edwards soon doubling the tally as Chirk raced ahead.
