EGERTON'S good form continued against Vale on Sunday as they cruised to an impressive 6-2 win.

Philip Cartner opened the scoring early in the first half and Egerton could have had a hatful by the time Chris Hardman added a second.

Just before half time, however, sloppy defending let the Vale forwards in to pull a goal back.

Scott Johnston added a third soon after the re-start and then Vale were unfortunate to have a man sent off.

The Egerton forwards then increased the pressure and Jonathan Enston scored twice before Andrew Jackson scored the goal of the match with a flying header.

Vale headed a consolation goal just before the final whistle.

Jackson and Cartner both produced good performances for Egerton, but the man of the match was Adam Shepherd for a strong performance in central defence.
