Emley AFC are now just two points away from securing the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division title after their hard fought 1-0 home victory over promotion rivals Albion Sports in midweek.

An Iren Wilson double secured Hallam a 2-1 victory at Barton Town with Thomas Waudby pulling one back for the Swans after the hour mark on Tuesday night.

Both sides were due to also play on Thursday but Hallam's home clash with Thackley was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Barton's game did go ahead and it proved a massive night for visitors Maltby Main who won 2-0 to keep their hopes of Premier Division survival alive.

Mackenzie Warne and Marc Newsham struck in the second period to claim a vital victory for the basement side who close the gap to safety to four points.

Two of the sides in the title chase in Division One were both winners in midweek.

Retford United strengthened their grip on a play-off place as an Adam Chapman double and a Gregg Smith strike ensured a 3-1 home win over Louth Town to increase the gap between themselves and sixth-placed Horbury Town to eight points.
