Altrincham boosted their promotion push with a 3-0 win over Rochdale which moved them up to fourth in the National League.

The hosts opened the scoring just before half-time when Rochdale goalkeeper Tiernan Brooks reacted well to deny Eddy Jones, but managed only to push the ball into the path of Justin Amaluzor to apply the finish.

Altrincham then took complete control with two goals in as many minutes midway through the second half.

Chris Conn-Clarke played in Regan Linney to get the first, and the Northern Irishman then got on the scoresheet himself seconds later, set up by Isaac Marriott.
