Hollins score seven in opener
The pair met twice late last season with a victory apiece, although Hollins won the one that really mattered in the Halifax FA Sunday Cup final at the Shay.
Hollins were lacking Andy Butterworth, Joe Gibson and George Bamford but Rob Stansfield and George Standring stood in.

The talented Jay Carney provided the main threat in a Lee Mount side also lacking a few regulars. He got all Mount’s goals, getting his side back into the contest at 3-2 down as the visitors played well for a 10-minute spell.
However, Hollins produced a quick three-goal burst to settle the outcome before James Chadwick completed the scoring with his second.
There was also a double for Sam Tattersall, who was outstanding in midfield for Hollins before being pushed forward, and the in-form Greg Spink was also on target.
