26th October, 2014
It is as you were at the summit of the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division table after all the top six sides won on Saturday.
Leaders Tadcaster Albion remain ahead of the pack after George Bissett and Carl Stewart netted in the final quarter of the game to beat visitors Garforth Town, 2-0.
It was a more comfortable afternoon for second-placed Shaw Lane Aquaforce and Worksop Town, who are third, after they both won convincingly against struggling sides.
A Lee Morris hat-trick helped Aquaforce to a 5-0 victory at home to Retford United who are now in the bottom three following their defeat, one place above Glasshoughton Welfare who succumbed to a 6-1 defeat to visitors Worksop.
Gary Ricketts' 88th minute winner grabbed a 2-1 win at Bridlington Town for fourth-placed Heanor Town after Craig Hogg had seemingly rescued a point for the home side.
Heanor stay two points clear of Staveley Miners Welfare who won 3-1 at home to Athersley Recreation and three points ahead of Barton Town Old Boys who were 2-0 victors at Albion Sports with both goals coming from Bradley Ricketts.
Handsworth Parramore were the only side in the top eight to be beaten as Mitchell Pearson's 82nd minute strike grabbed Liversedge all three points in a 2-1 victory but they stay in seventh albeit only on goal difference now ahead of Cleethorpes Town who won 1-0 at Thackley, Marc Cooper with the vital goal.
Basement side Nostell Miners Welfare drew 2-2 at home to Parkgate with Mark Simpson claiming them a point with an equaliser five minutes from time.
And, Armthorpe Welfare moved out of the bottom three with an injury-time leveller from Josh Gibbons in a 2-2 draw at Maltby Main.
AFC Emley are now five points clear at the top of Division One after an Ashley Flynn brace helped them to a 3-1 victory at Hall Road Rangers.
After winning their first ten games in the league, Clipstone fell to their third straight defeat, 2-0 at home to Pontefract Collieries courtesy of a Mark Whitehouse double, and their visitors replace them in second spot.
There were two goals for Viktor Balis in Eccleshill United's 4-2 victory at Grimsby Borough with their hosts falling to the bottom of the table as Hallam climbed out of the basement with a goalless draw at home to Worsbrough Bridge Athletic.
Game of the day was at the Fitzwilliam Stadium as Hemsworth Miners Welfare shared eight goals with Penistone Church.
It looked as though the hosts had taken the points when Robert Crapper made it 4-3 on 80 minutes but Penistone's Paul Lavender popped up in stoppage time to make sure it was a point apiece.
A Dean Rick penalty and a Carl Haslam strike in two second-half minutes saw AFC Mansfield come from behind to win 2-1 at Knaresborough Town whilst Selby Town came away with a 1-1 draw from Teversal, Rich Williams opening the scoring for the Robins early on before parity was quickly restored for the hosts by Aiden Harris.
Yorkshire Amateur enjoyed a 3-0 home victory over Winterton Rangers whilst there were also wins on their own turf for Bottesford Town, Dronfield Town and Louth Town.
Bottesford beat Rossington Main 1-0, Dronfield triumphed 3-1 over Shirebrook Town and there was a 2-0 victory for Louth at the expense of Lincoln Moorlands Railway.
