Seven teams made it two wins out of two in the top flight with Scarborough Athletic leading the field on goals scored ahead of Retford United.

Ryan Blott struck twice in the first half during the Seadogs' 4-1 home victory over Thackley whilst James Bennett and Ollie Ryan also found the net to put the game beyond doubt in the second period before Mark Bett claimed a late consolation for the visitors.

Armthorpe Welfare, Bridlington Town and Worksop Parramore all picked up their first points of the new campaign with victories.

Tom Hyde's late winner saw Armthorpe triumph 2-1 at Nostell Miners Welfare, Craig Hogg's 20th minute strike was enough for a 1-0 win for Bridlington at Glasshoughton Welfare and Parramore thumped visitors Lincoln Moorlands Railway, 5-0.

Paul Goodhand's penalty in the 100th minute was the only goal in Louth Town's win at Bottesford Town, the only other game that required a further half-hour's play.
