There were varying fortunes for the leaders of the Premier Division and Division One on what was a full programme of Toolstation NCEL fixtures on Saturday.Yorkshire Amateur's advantage at the top of the Premier Division has been reduced to one point after their 2-1 defeat at
Eccleshill United.
Devonte Newman-Morton put the Ammers back on level terms on 69 minutes after Ryan Hargreaves had given the hosts a first half lead but Andrew Cooper quickly restored supremacy for the Eagles who climb up to seventh as a result of their victory.
Second-placed
Penistone Church closed the gap on the summit as a Sam Scrivens double and a Jordan Coduri strike helped them to a 3-1 home win over
Garforth Town after Alex Low put the visitors ahead in the 26th minute.
Hemsworth Miners Welfare stay six points behind the Ammers in third after their 1-0 loss at
Liversedge, Kevy Tarangadzo's late winner securing the points for the hosts on an afternoon where Penistone were the only top six side to win.
There were 1-1 draws for
Knaresborough Town and
Bridlington Town who stay fourth and fifth, respectively, with Knaresborough denied a victory at
Staveley Miners Welfare by a last gasp equaliser from Michael Burke after Nicholas Black had given them the lead in first-half stoppage time.
Bridlington fell behind to an Fatlum Ibrahimi penalty at home to
Harrogate Railway Athletic but rescued a point in the 84th minute through Benn Lewis.
Maltby Main, meanwhile, stay sixth despite a 1-0 loss at
Bottesford Town, Wayne Graves' 20th minute decider moving the Poachers up into eighth.
In the battle to beat the drop,
Goole AFC stay in the basement but are now three points closer to safety after ending a nine-match losing streak with a 1-0 home victory over
Albion Sports.
Mohammed Hamid got the only goal of the game early in the second period that means they are only three points behind
Hall Road Rangers who stay just outside the relegation zone after their 4-3 loss at home to
Thackley.
In a match that was important to both sides, the scores were level at 1-1 at the interval before Rangers, thanks to a Daniel Earl double, raced into a 3-1 lead by the hour.
But, a rapid turnaround saw Thackley take the lead within nine minutes, Asa Mitchell's goal and a brace from Jack Normanton claiming a win that keeps the Dennyboys in the bottom four but now eight points away from the trapdoor.
Elsewhere, the Sandy Lane derby ended in a goalless draw between
Handsworth Parramore and
Worksop Town in front of the day's biggest crowd of 310 whilst a Lee Garside penalty secured a 1-0 home victory for
Athersley Recreation over
Barton Town.
The match of the day in Division One saw table-toppers
Campion at home to fellow title challengers
Hallam and it was the hosts who, with a 2-1 victory, took the points to extend their lead thanks to a late winner from Omar Habeeb.
Lee Bradshaw had broken the deadlock for Campion in the 39th minute before parity was restored early in the second half by Jack Waddle for the visitors who fall to sixth following their defeat.
Second-placed
Winterton Rangers are now four points off the top after they were beaten 3-0 at
Dronfield Town who climb to eighth, courtesy of Christian Savage's early opener and a double from Daniel Wood.
Daniel Trott netted twice for
Grimsby Borough with Jack Debnam also getting on the scoresheet in a 3-0 home win over
Armthorpe Welfare that keeps the Wilderness Boys in third but means they cut the gap to Campion to five points.
Nostell Miners Welfare and
Worsbrough Bridge Athletic also strengthened their case for a title charge as wins move them up to fourth and fifth, respectively.
A Kai Hancock double helped Nostell to a 4-0 defeat of next-to-bottom hosts
Harworth Colliery whilst Worsbrough ended
Parkgate's recent run of victories, Kieran Hirst also claiming a brace in a 4-1 home victory.
FC Bolsover and
Shirebrook Town gained a point apiece in the Langwith Road derby with tenants Bolsover grabbing a late equaliser from Cameron Hough in a 2-2 draw with their landlords.
There were 2-1 away wins for
Rossington Main and
East Yorkshire Carnegie with Jordan Buckham's 80th minute decider grabbing the points for Main at
AFC Emley whilst Ryan Williams scored Carnegie's vital second with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining at
Swallownest.
James Wroot got the only goal of the game for
Skegness Town as they beat visitors
Selby Town and
Ollerton Town came from behind to win 3-1 at home to
