Parkgate?s excellent start to the season began with a 3-0 win at Dinnington Town to consolidate third place in the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division.

Janni Lipka struck twice, one in each half, whilst Luke Fletcher also got on the scoresheet to move six points clear of Brighouse Town and five points behind leaders Farsley AFC with two games in hand.

Dinnington have dropped into the bottom three as Lincoln Moorlands Railway's 5-0 victory at home to Long Eaton United saw them climb out of there and up into fourteenth.

Tom Garrick and Sean Cann struck twice each in their comfortable win.

The remaining three midweek Premier Division games all ended in draws.

Armthorpe Welfare looked to have snatched victory at home to Tadcaster Albion as they came from 2-1 down with ten minutes remaining to be leading as the game went into injury time.

James Walker levelled the scores and then their goalkeeper Jamie Green popped up to net what seemed certain to be a remarkable winner.

But, Tom Reid struck two minutes later to claim the draw that the visitors will probably think was the least they deserved.

Luke Richardson struck with three minutes remaining to claim a 1-1 draw for Thackley at Arnold Town after Darren Bettison had given the Eagles the lead.

And, it was the same scoreline between Pickering Town and Winterton Rangers in their top eight clash.

Division One leaders Staveley Miners Welfare were stunned by a 5-1 defeat at Eccleshill United.

Lee Swift grabbed the winner in the 87th minute for Hemsworth Miners Welfare as they went through 3-2 at home to Brodsworth Welfare and they now travel to Appleby Frodingham.

Meanwhile, there was deep disappointment for Scarborough Athletic as they were beaten 3-2 by Northern League visitors Stokesley in the First Round of the North Riding Senior Cup.

Ryan Blott had put them ahead early on but the visitors struck three times in thirteen second-half minutes to put the game beyond doubt before Bill Law gave the Seadogs an injury-time consolation.
