THUNDER, lightening and pouring rain failed to dampen Crewe's spirits when they travelled to Leek this week.

The Alex beat Leek 3-0 on Tuesday with the hat-trick scored by new signing Jamie Moralee from Watford.

The match was put off for 15 minutes for a thunder storm and the second half saw torrential rain over the ground.

But Moralee had two good strikes and converted a penalty into a goal to take Crewe ahead.
