Emley AFC missed out on a chance to climb into second spot in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by visitors Albion Sports.

The Pewits needed a 49th minute penalty from Joe Jagger - his 29th goal of the season - to claim a point after the away side had taken the lead on the half-hour through Eisa Faulding.

Emley stay third, a point behind Winterton Rangers whose game at Silsden AFC was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, and twelve behind leaders North Ferriby who had a free weekend.

Garforth Town closed the gap to a point with Rangers in fourth as they won 3-2 at home to Barton Town.

Sam Barker and Charlie Marshall had them two-up by the 27th minute before Thomas Waudby halved the deficit for the Swans just prior to half-time.

Jamie Barkway grabbed a third for the Miners in the last quarter-of-an-hour but it was a nervy ending for them as Benjamin Hinchcliffe added to Barton's tally late on.

Hemsworth Miners Welfare and Penistone Church climb above Silsden after they both picked up wins.

A 25th minute penalty was enough for Hemsworth as they edged 1-0 past visitors Yorkshire Amateur who remain in the basement and are now eleven points from safety.

Leon Hurles-Brook's double helped Church to a 5-2 defeat of visitors Frickley Athletic with further goals from Jordan Coduri, Thomas Charlesworth and Ryan Hallsworth whilst Alhassane Keita's penalty and a Elving Johnsen strike contributed to the away side's scoreline.

Goole AFC have jumped out of the drop zone after Chris Spinks and Oliver Russon netted for the Vikings in a 2-1 win at fifteenth-placed Thackley, Thomas Greaves netting what was an equaliser for the hosts in the 65th minute.

And, it was a point apiece for Handsworth and Eccleshill United in a 1-1 draw, Joe Parkin's late leveller for the Ambers restoring parity after Joao Silva had given the Eagles a 56th minute lead.

The much anticipated top-three clash between Campion and Harrogate Railway was one of two games called off in Division One due to waterlogged pitches.

Second-placed Rossington Main, meanwhile, were beaten 3-1 at home by Parkgate, Robert Ludlam, Bradley Morton and Ross Duggan with the goals for the Steelmen who climb to eighteenth, a point behind Shirebrook Town who are just above them outside of the relegation zone.

Jordan Buckham struck for Rossington who stay thirteen points behind Campion having now played one game more than the table-toppers.

Wakefield AFC are now four points clear in the play-off zone following their 3-0 victory at Brigg Town, Mason Ruble's opener, added to by a Billy Mole penalty and their third from Lewis Stephens.

Staveley Miners Welfare lost ground in sixth as they were beaten 3-1 at Retford FC, a Leon Larcombe-Loftus own goal the only joy for the Trojans as William Tomlinson, Jack Johnson and Charlie Baird sealed the game for the hosts who move above Brigg into seventh.

Reece Moody, Oliver Baldwin and Mathew Stafford secured a 3-0 home win for Beverley Town over Shirebrook that moves them up to tenth in the table whilst their visitors continue to look nervously over their shoulder at the bottom three.

Substitute Adam Scott's late double grabbed ten-man Ollerton Town a 2-1 victory over visitors Glasshoughton Welfare after Nathan Perks had opened the scoring for the away side.

Selby Town were 3-2 home winners over Armthorpe Welfare whilst Thomas Cadzow snatched a late decider for Worsbrough Bridge Athletic as they dispatched visitors Nostell Miners Welfare 2-1.

And, Athersley Recreation's home clash with Dronfield Town was the division's other game to fall victim of the recent wet weather.
