Midweek Match Review
17th April, 2008
Pickering Town closed the gap to second place to one point with a 2-0 home win over Premier Division champions Winterton Rangers.
Joe Connor put the Pikes ahead in the opening quarter-of-an-hour before Ricky Greening ensured the victory with the second eight minutes from time.
They moved up into third, putting further pressure on the side just above them, Glapwell, with four games remaining.
Meanwhile, there were two five-goal thrillers in Division One.
Champions Dinnington Town showed their determination to keep winning despite having the title in the bag with a 3-2 victory at Leeds Met Carnegie.
Alex O'Brien had broken the deadlock for the hosts in the second minute before Dinnington levelled matters through Ben Rosser soon after.
Then, Louis Axcell added a second for the visitors just after the interval and Rosser got his name on the scoresheet again on 71 minutes.
John Forrest pulled one back for Leeds Met but Dinnington went home with the 3-2 win.
And, the goals followed the same pattern in Borrowash Victoria's victory by the same scoreline at Worsbrough Bridge Athletic.
Again, the hosts took the early lead through Joe Williamson before Karl Payne, Rob Spencer and Jamie Pawley turned the game fully in Vics' favour.
Kieran Gallagher netted on the hour mark for Athletic but Borrowash held on for a victory that moved them up to thirteenth in the Division One table.
