Weekend Match Review
22nd October, 2007
It is 'as you were' for the top eight of the Premier Division after a full League programme on Saturday.
Nostell Miners Welfare extended their lead at the top of the table to three points despite being held to a goalless draw at home to fellow promoted side Parkgate.
That's because their nearest rivals Winterton Rangers went down to a surprising 3-0 defeat at Lincoln Moorlands Railway, a win that moves Railway off the bottom of the table.
Nick Robinson, Craig Bridge and Josh Bowden got the goals that will have delighted under-pressure boss Darren Dye.
Liversedge and Armthorpe Welfare join Rangers on 22 points as they were both on the right end of a 3-0 scoreline.
A Luke Sherman brace and a late strike from Nicky Boshell earned Sedge the victory at home to Glasshoughton Welfare.
Liam Radford struck twice in the opening 18 minutes and Stuart Preston added the third soon after the interval as Welfare won at Shirebrook Town, a defeat that sees the Langwith Road side drop to seventeenth.
Fifth-placed Pickering Town were the biggest Premier Division winners with a 5-0 victory over visitors South Normanton Athletic.
Two late goals from Lee Sutton with one from the penalty spot, kept Arnold Town in sixth with a 2-0 win at Maltby Main.
Glapwell are seventh but have maintained their one hundred percent record as two from Craig Mitchell and one each from Willis Francis and Tyeisse Nightingale saw them claim their sixth league victory at Brodsworth Welfare.
Selby Town, who played most of the game with ten men, came from 2-1 to win 5-3 in a thrilling game at Hallam.
Brenton Leister, Bruno Holden, Adam Lee and Christian Fox put them 4-3 up by the hour mark before Leister made sure of the win from the penalty spot with twelve minutes remaining.
Rob Spencer and Karl Ashton struck in the opening thirteen minutes to give Mickleover Sports a 2-0 win at Thackley, a win that moves them up to ninth.
And, they are just ahead of Eccleshill United who won 1-0 at Long Eaton United thanks to a 17th-minute strike from Stuart Waite.
In Division One, Gedling Town still lead the way by two points after a 7-1 thrashing of Hall Road Rangers that made it seven wins out of seven for Lee Wilson's team.
But, they're being chased by Teversal who picked up a 4-2 home win over Barton Town Old Boys who were third at the start of play.
Barton were two-up by the break with goals from Gary Dickinson and Gareth Barlow before a Nathan White own goal and Daron Thorpe strike brought the home side level and Andy Woodcock then Richard Giles sealed the points.
Tadcaster Albion took advantage of Barton's defeat as a 4-1 victory moved them up to third.
Their visitors Worsbrough Bridge had taken the lead through Craig Wilkinson in the fourth minute but Taddy hit back straight away through Guiseppe Downing.
Goals in the second-half from Mark Willoughby, Rob Ellis and Chris Dempsey made sure of the victory.
The biggest crowd of the day was at Leeds Met Carnegie as 308 people saw them beat AFC Emley 2-0 thanks to goals from Gaz Johnson and Kev Ryan.
It was free admission to the match as part of a Festival of Football at Throstle Nest and Leeds Met are now up to fifth in the table.
Two goals from Ryan Damms helped Staveley Miners Welfare climb to sixth following a 3-0 home victory over bottom side Borrowash Victoria after Spencer Goff had grabbed the opener.
Bottesford Town leap over Scarborough Athletic into eighth place after being the Seadogs 3-1 at home.
A Scott Phillips penalty had put Athletic ahead before Paul Chatterton, Carl La Rocca and Phil Jackman turned things to the host's favour.
And, Dinnington Town and Yorkshire Amateur were both rewarded for the victories with moves up the Division One table.
The Ammas are now tenth after Simon Kirsima and Tesfa Walton helped them to a 2-1 win at home to Rainworth Miners Welfare.
And, a Matt Wragg brace spurred Dinnington on to a 3-1 win at Rossington Main.
