Handsworth Parramore closed the gap a little on the top two sides in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division with a win in midweek.

Colin Marrison got the only goal of the game early in the second half as they won 1-0 at Barton Town Old Boys and they are now four points away from leaders Tadcaster Albion with two matches in hand.

Fifth-placed Albion Sports, however, went down to a second minute Ged Dalton strike as they lost 1-0 at Pickering Town but Garforth Town are up to sixth as Luke Mangham and Curtly Martin-Wyatt's goals earned them a 2-0 home victory over Nostell Miners Welfare.

Goals in the last ten minutes from Scott Whittington and Luke Johnson saw Parkgate come from behind to win 3-2 at Armthorpe Welfare and they are now tenth, one place above Cleethorpes Town who thumped hosts Retford United, 8-0.

Marc Cooper got four of the goals, Brody Robertson claimed a hat-trick and there were two for Daniel Trott.

Pontefract Collieries are out of the bottom six after Aaron Moxam and Mark Whitehouse got on the scoresheet as they beat visitors Liversedge, 2-1.

In Division One, Dominic Blair netted a hat-trick as Hemsworth Miners Welfare won 4-0 at bottom side Winterton Rangers to move up into fifth ahead of Penistone Church, who won 3-0 at home to Eccleshill United, on goal difference.

Andrew Ring's double helped Penistone to the victory, sandwiching a Marco Battaglia strike.

Shirebrook Town were another side to win 4-0 on their travels as Jake Currie scored three at Rossington Main, AFC Emley triumphed 5-0 at home to Worsbrough Bridge Athletic and Dronfield Town lost 3-1 at Yorkshire Amateur.

Hull United's game at home to Bottesford Town was abandoned after 32 minutes due to floodlight failure whilst the Premier Division match between Brigg Town and Athersley Recreation was postponed because of floodlight problems.

And, Worksop Town are through to the Second Round of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup after they won 2-1 against visitors Staveley Miners Welfare.

James Cottingham put the Tigers ahead on 51 minutes before Courtney Hastings levelled on the hour mark but Andrew Ofosu got a dramatic winner deep into injury time.
