Over 1,000 people watched Scarborough Athletic beat their landlords Bridlington Town 2-1 to go back top of the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division.

In front of what was the biggest league crowd in almost five years, the Seadogs, who were the away team in this fixture, came from behind to secure the three points after Nathan Hotte had given Brid a sixth-minute lead.

David Hartas and Scott Phillips turned the game around just before the hour mark to put Scarborough two points ahead of a chasing pack of three that includes Bridlington in second place.

Armthorpe Welfare stay third but were made to work for their dramatic 4-3 win at Parkgate.

Liam Hardy and David Buck put them two ahead by the break but the hosts, with new manager Russell Eagle in the dugout for the first time, showed fighting spirit and pulled one back through Matthew Cardwell.

Hardy got his second and Armthorpe's third on 67 minutes before Leon Wainman made it 2-3 with ten minutes remaining.

Stuart Preston restored the visitors' two-goal cushion as the game went into injury time but Parkgate threatened to come back again with James Mitchell finding the net.

Armthorpe held on, however, for what could be three vital points come the final reckoning.

Rainworth Miners Welfare were deadly from the penalty spot as they won 3-1 at Liversedge to make it eight league wins in a row and keep them fourth.

Lewis Trimmer then made sure of the win, also from twelve yards, but the Wrens had to wait until the 89th minute for that comfort.

There's now an eight point gap between fourth and fifth as Selby Town were beaten 2-1 at home by Hallam, Joe Boggild's 59th minute strike proving the winner as the visitors came from behind for the win.

Dinnington Town were 2-0 victors at home to Maltby Main and a Liam Salt brace helped Pickering Town to a 4-0 win against Hall Road Rangers.

It's as you were in Division One after the top four sides all won - but it remains a tight league with only seven points separating the top half of the table.

Tadcaster Albion's 3-0 win at home to Pontefract Collieries means they are still the leaders, Danny King, Guiseppe Downing and Darren Brandon with their goals, all in the last twenty minutes.

Staveley beat Brighouse Town 4-3 at Inkersall Road with Ryan Damms grabbing a double, one from the penalty spot, whilst Emley put a struggling Teversal to the sword.

Antony Leech and Max Joice scored before the interval and then Josh Wright and Craig Marsh put the seal on a very straightforward 4-0 victory.
