Liversedge were unable to become the fifth Toolstation NCEL side to reach the Second Qualifying Round of this year's Emirates FA Cup as they were beaten in their replay in midweek.Having held Sunderland RCA to a goalless draw in the North East on Saturday, there was disappointment as they went down 4-0 at home on Tuesday with two of the goals coming in the final ten minutes.
The top four in the Premier Division stays as you were with three of the sides enjoying victories although leaders
Pontefract Collieries left it late to take all three points from bottom side
Clipstone.
The game was level at 2-2 going into the final fifteen minutes whereupon Kane Reece got his second of the evening for the Colls and a quickfire double from Eli Hey completed his hat-trick to take the victory and deny their hosts their first point of the season.
Pontefract remain a point ahead of
Hemsworth Miners Welfare who won 1-0 at
Albion Sports, Jack Steers getting the vital goal fifteen minutes from time.
The gap to third-placed
Maltby Main has grown to three points after the Miners drew 1-1 at
Garforth Town, Steven McDonnell with a 72nd minute equaliser for the visitors after Callum Ward's opener midway through the first period.

Hall Road Rangers.
There was an eight goal thriller at the newly-named The King of Soho Stadium where
Worksop Town won 5-3 over visitors
Harrogate Railway Athletic after the scores had been level at 1-1 at half-time.

Athersley Recreation and a Joseph Hughes hat-trick - also taking his tally to ten - secured a 4-0 home defeat of
Bottesford Town by Thackley.
And, in the battle of two of the three basement sides, it was hosts
Parkgate who prevailed, 3-1 over
Barton Town with Adam Clayton and Daniel Harris getting the winning goals in the last quarter-of-an-hour and the Steelmen move up to eighteenth.
In Division One,

They are replaced in the basement by

Armthorpe Welfare, Liam Radford with two of the visitors' goals, and they are joined in the bottom two by
Brigg Town who lost 4-1 to visitors
Worsbrough Bridge Athletic, Liam Wilkin netting a hat-trick as the away side surge up to sixteenth.
