Weekend Match Review

4th November, 2007

Six-of-the-best from Pickering Town saw them move to the top of the Premier Division after a convincing victory at home to Mickleover Sports.

It was the Pikes ninth consecutive victory in all competitions, seven in the League, and they were well on their way to the win by the interval as Danny Gildea and Steve Baxter had put them 2-0 by half-time.

Ricky Greening grabbed a brace before Chris Batcher and Liam Salt completed the 6-0 rout in the final twenty minutes.

They replace Nostell Miners Welfare at the helm who were held to a 3-3 draw by visitors Glasshoughton Welfare.

It means they have not won in their last five league matches but it could have been a lot worse after Glasshoughton took a 2-0 lead through Richard Britten and Chris Coupe.

Nostell turned the game around, however, with two from Ben Gilbert and a third from Matthew Wilkinson on 67 minutes.

But, Glasshoughton got a point as Nigel Croud concluded the scoring four minutes later.

And, Winterton Rangers dropped to fourth after losing 2-0 at Long Eaton United, Alex Steadman and Scott Downie were on target to take the home side up to thirteenth in the table.

Liversedge overtook Rangers into third with a 3-1 win over Lincoln Moorlands Railway at the Clayborn Ground.

Glapwell's hundred percent record remained intact to see the Hall Corner side move up to fifth, Aaron Brady's eighth-minute strike enough to pick up all three points at Maltby Main.

Christian Fox, Brenton Leister and Adam Lee all found the net for Selby Town as they beat South Normanton Athletic 3-1 at the Flaxley Road Ground to climb into seventh.

Kelvin Mushambi got the consolation for the Shiners who drop into seventeenth and are two points ahead of the basement side Brodsworth Welfare who lost 3-0 at home to Eccleshill United.

Shirebrook Town and Thackley both picked up maximum points from their home games to relieve their pressure towards the bottom of the table.

Matt Thorpe scored with ten minutes remaining as Shirebrook won 1-0 against Parkgate whilst Matthew Mathers and Dave Woofenden guided Thackley to a 2-0 victory over Armthorpe Welfare.

And, honours were even at Sandygate where Hallam were held to a 1-1 draw by Arnold Town, the first draw at home for Hallam in nineteen months.

Things were also very dramatic in Division One as Gedling Town were knocked off top spot following their first league defeat of the season.

It was inflicted on them by Scarborough Athletic in front of the day's biggest crowd of 180 at the Riverside Ground.

Scott Phillips got both the Seadogs goals in a 2-1 win with Matt Millns grabbing an injury-time consolation for Lee Wilson's side.

Gedling were replaced at the helm by Teversal who picked up a straightforward 3-0 home win over Borrowash Victoria, Jack Townroe after sixteen minutes before Andy Woodcock and Sam Holmes made sure in the last quarter-of-an-hour.

A last-minute winner by Kevin Ryan saw Leeds Met Carnegie move up to fourth after a dramatic 3-2 victory at Hall Road Rangers, although they could argue they deserved the points having been ahead three times in the match.

And, a Lee Gregory strike on 85 minutes saw Staveley Miners Welfare climb to fifth following a 2-1 home win over Dinnington Town.

Rossington Main remain bottom of the pile after a 3-1 defeat by visitors Rainworth Miners Welfare who climb to tenth.

Jason Stokes had put Main ahead on 54 minutes before the Wrens took control of the match, firstly through a Danny Naylor equaliser and then a Lee Wilkinson penalty kick before Jason Nicholson grabbed the third late-on.

Worsbrough Bridge Athletic came from behind to claim a 3-2 win at Pontefract Collieries, as Chris Boreham and Craig Wilkinson brought them back from 2-1 down to get the three points.

And, Yorkshire Amateur were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Bottesford Town.
