1st September, 2014
Bridlington Town, Clipstone and Staveley Miners Welfare are through to the First Round of Qualifying in the FA Cup with Budweiser after victories on Saturday.
Tom Fleming, Chris Jenkinson and Chris Adams scored for Bridlington Town in their 3-0 home victory over Northern League side Northallerton Town whilst Staveley won by the same scoreline at Rainworth Miners Welfare, Nathan Forbes-Swindells, Ryan Damms and Oli Ryan putting their Evo-Stik League hosts to the sword.
And, a brace from Jamie Smith ensured Clipstone's fine start to the season continued with a 2-1 win at home to Loughborough University from the Midland Football League.
Cleethorpes Town could join them at the next stage after they drew 0-0 at Evo-Stik League outfit Gresley to force a midweek replay.
However, with Step 4 clubs coming into the competition in the Preliminary Round, the vast majority of Toolstation NCEL sides saw their participation in the FA Cup come to an end for this season.
There were home defeats for Albion Sports, Armthorpe Welfare, Garforth Town, Knaresborough Town, Maltby Main, Retford United, Tadcaster Albion and Winterton Rangers.
And, there were losses on their travels for AFC Emley, Athersley Recreation, Barton Town Old Boys, Handsworth Parramore and Heanor Town.
Shaw Lane Aquaforce have gone top of the Premier Division, making it four wins out of four with a 3-1 victory at Thackley.
A Shane Kelsey penalty gave them a first half lead and James Eyles added a second with fifteen minutes remaining but Mark Trueman quickly brought the hosts back into the game before Lee Morris made sure of the points in stoppage time.
Worksop Town are up into fourth after a Tom Elliott brace, added to with goals from Mitch Husbands, Luke Shiels and Andre Johnson, claimed a 5-0 home win over Pickering Town.
Ryan Waugh struck in injury time to claim a point for Liversedge in a dramatic 4-4 draw with visitors Nostell Miners Welfare after Matthew Semley's 78th minute had seemingly given the away side the victory.
And, Glasshoughton Welfare's Danny Barrett cancelled out a first-half injury time own goal from Adam Walsh to draw at Parkgate, 1-1.
In Division One, Lincoln Moorlands Railway had to show huge battling spirit to win 5-4 at Dronfield Town and move to the top of the table.
Craig Bridge had given them a tenth minute lead but three goals in as many minutes - a Jonny Pugh penalty and then strikes from Daniel Bent and Nicholas Mulgrew - meant the hosts were 3-1 up before the midway point of the first half.
However, Simon Mowbray and Lewis Chambers found the net to ensure the scores were level at the interval and Mowbray then struck twice more in the second period, once from the spot, to secure the points before a late fourth from Joe Butler for Dronfield.
Hemsworth Miners Welfare came from behind to beat hosts Grimsby Borough, 3-1, Nicholas Guest with a vital double for the visitors as they climb into second spot.
First-half goals from Dean Rick and Joe Naylor put AFC Mansfield 2-0 up at local rivals Teversal but the hosts converted a 46th minute penalty and then Mark Parkes and Dave Cockerill scored late on to snatch a 3-2 win.
The Bulls drop to third following the defeat and Louth Town have fallen to fourth as they lost 3-0 at home to Bottesford Town, Terry Barwick, Robbie Start and Mark Anderson with the goals.
Selby Town and Penistone Church both won at home to move into the top seven with Ryan Robinson and Daniel O'Connor scoring for Selby in their 2-1 victory over Rossington Main whilst Lewis Dickinson, Alvin Riley and Mark Crossfield got on the scoresheet for Penistone as they beat Hallam, 3-1.
Two each for Steve Rivera and Viktor Balis secured Eccleshill United their first victory of the season as they beat Shirebrook Town, 4-0, at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium.
And, there were away victories for Worsbrough Bridge Athletic, 2-0 at Pontefract Collieries, whilst Hall Road Rangers prevailed 3-0 at Yorkshire Amateur, Mark Rudd getting two of their goals.
