Toolstation NCEL Match Review 2015/16 #68

10th April, 2016

The unpredictable chase for the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division title took another twist on Saturday as Tadcaster Albion won the top-of-the-table clash to move back to the summit.

The Brewers are now a point in front of Handsworth Parramore with a game in hand after beating them 5-2 at the i2i Stadium.

Jon Froggatt had put the visitors ahead on eleven minutes but Tadcaster quickly levelled through Josh Greening and then his second and a Tom Corner penalty had the home side 3-1 up by the interval.

Corner then got his second and Tadcaster's fourth before Simon Harrison brought Handsworth back into the game but Greening completed his hat-trick to seal the points in front of 631 spectators.

Cleethorpes Town, Bridlington Town and Worksop Town all won to keep their title aspirations alive with only six points separating the top five sides.

Luke Mascall struck twice whilst there were also goals for Marc Cooper and Laurence McKay as Cleethorpes won 4-0 at Brigg Town, Bridlington were 5-2 victors over visitors Retford United with Chris Jenkinson and Brett Agnew getting two each for the Seasiders whilst Conor Higginson struck the only goal of the game as Worksop Town prevailed at home to Nostell Miners Welfare.

That defeat for Nostell almost certainly condemns them to a relegation place as they are now eight points away from safety with three games to play.

Liversedge remain next-to-bottom after their 1-0 home loss to Pickering Town, Sam Calvert with the goal on 18 minutes, and Pontefract Collieries are in the drop zone after they went down 5-2 at home to Thackley, Ryan Farrell with a brace for the visitors.

They replace Parkgate who won 2-1 at home to Garforth Town, Alex Lill with what proved to be the winner towards the end of the first half as his side climbed up to seventeenth, going above Pontefract, Brigg and Armthorpe Welfare who drew 2-2 at home to Albion Sports, Asif Hussain's leveller on 65 minutes for the away side sharing the spoils.

In the day's other top flight action, there was a hat-trick for Liam Morris as Rainworth Miners Welfare thrashed visitors Barton Town Old Boys, 5-0, Steve Hopewell got both of Maltby Main's goals in a 2-2 draw at Staveley Miners Welfare and Clipstone went down 2-0 at Athersley Recreation, a vital win for the home side to put some daylight between themselves and those fighting for survival.

Hemsworth Miners Welfare's hopes of clinching the Division One title on Saturday with a victory were dashed when their trip to Lincoln Moorlands Railway was called off as the bottom-placed home side were unable to field a team.

Next-to-bottom Worsbrough Bridge Athletic were also unable to field a team so their match at Knaresborough Town was postponed as well.

Bottesford Town climbed above AFC Mansfield, who were without a game, into the second automatic promotion spot as a Josh Nichols double earned them a 2-1 victory at Yorkshire Amateur.

Tom Owen's 28th minute strike saw fourth-placed AFC Emley go down 1-0 at Selby Town to dent their chances of a top-two finish.

Daniel Joynes' goal two minutes from time earned Penistone Church a 3-2 victory at Dronfield Town which sees them on the verge of claiming a play-off spot in fifth place.

Hallam and Hull United are just outside the top six after a 2-2 draw at Eccleshill United and a 3-0 win over Rossington Main, respectively.

Louis Grant's hat-trick helped Grimsby Borough to a 6-3 home win over Hall Road Rangers, there were two goals for Joe McFadyen as Westella VIP beat visitors Glasshoughton Welfare, 4-0, and Teversal went down 3-1 at Winterton Rangers.
