This midweek saw a full programme of Toolstation NCEL matches with leaders North Ferriby and Campion both carrying on from where they left off before an impromptu winter break for most sides due to bad weather and Christmas.Ferriby were one of many Premier Division teams who were playing their first match in 24 days as they continued their winning streak, making it seven victories in a row as they beat hosts

Penistone Church.
The away side stormed into a four goal lead with Jordan Coduri, Wayne Hughes, Leon Hurles-Brook and Thomas Charlesworth seemingly putting them in an unassailable position.
But, Emley produced the comeback of the season so far in the final quarter of the game as Iyrwah Gooden set the ball rolling before a Joe Jagger brace and an equaliser from James Walshaw saw the spoils shared.
Garforth Town and
