Silsden AFC are the new NCEL Premier Division leaders, Albion Sports claimed the last spot in the Third Round of the JCP Construction League Cup, and plenty of our sides were involved in County Cups in a busy midweek of action.

A 4-1 win at Winterton Rangers has seen the Cobbydalers leap to the top of the table, Jake Cassidy and Luke Brooksbank giving them a two goal cushion by the break before further extending their lead early in the second period through Toby Jeffrey's strike and an Ellis Hudson penalty.

Joe Hare grabbed a 75th minute consolation for the hosts who remain in the bottom two, six points ahead of basement side Goole AFC who also tasted defeat in a 5-0 loss at Beverley Town.

Oliver Nicholson broke the deadlock in first half stoppage time before the home side took full control after the interval with a goal each from Cameron Connelly, McCauley Snelgrove, Glen Sani and Luka Suluburic.

Beverley jumped half a dozen places up to ninth as a result of their victory, closing the gap to the top five to six points.

Albion Sports took a sixth minute lead through Callum Hill as they travelled to Division One's bottom team Yorkshire Amateur but the home side refused to capitulate and battled the Lions all the way, netting an equaliser in the 89th minute through Kadeem Morton to force a penalty shoot-out in a 1-1 draw.

Sports then won 5-3 on spot kicks to finally end the Ammers' resistance and book their place in the last sixteen of this season's competition.

In the Second Round of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup, the two midweek all-NCEL ties both ended 3-3 with Hallam and Nostell Miners Welfare ultimately making it through on penalties.

Three times Hallam led at home to their Division One visitors Swallownest with their goals from Adam Blakley, Leon Howarth and Brandon Bradbury cancelled out respectively by Samuel Foulds, Decland Mullane and Alex Wonham.

And, it was the Premier Division hosts who went through, 5-3 in the shoot-out.

Nostell, meanwhile, caused an upset as the Division One side beat Premier Division Rossington Main after a Cyrus Rowe double and a Gracjan Klimczak strike for Welfare were equalled by goals from Sam Limber, Paul Sherburn and Mitchell Langton for the visitors.

With the scores level after 90 minutes, it was decided on spot kicks with Nostell prevailing 4-3.

It was a record-breaking night for Edward Agnew whose hat-trick helped Wombwell Town to a 5-2 home win over Elite AFC, those goals making him the club's all-time top scorer with 60 goals in 107 appearances since its formation in 2018.

Kane Reece and Jordan Kershaw also netted for Wombwell to send them through but they will not be joined by Frickley Athletic who, despite a goal from Keanen Mannings, were beaten 3-1 at Hemsworth Miners Welfare.

In the First Round of the West Riding County Cup, Matthew Flanagan and James Baxendale were the scorers as Armthorpe Welfare claimed a memorable 2-1 home victory over higher-ranked Guiseley and Horbury Town were 3-2 winners over fellow NCEL side Thackley.

James Cusworth, Billy Mole and Bradley Swain put the hosts 3-0 up before the Dennyboys staged a mini-comeback through Finn Donovan and Ben Grech-Brooksbank.

Nicky Boshell's injury time winner grabbed Campion a 2-1 home victory over Steeton after Joshua Green's opener had been cancelled out by the visitors.

Selby Town enjoyed a 3-2 victory at Eccleshill United, the Division One Robins dumping out the Premier Division Eagles courtesy of an Edward Dry brace and a goal from Harry Clapham whilst Harvey Booth and Mohammed Farhan Subhani got on the scoresheet for the home side.

And, South Leeds picked up an excellent 5-3 win against a youthful Farsley Celtic line-up, Khamis Jacob, Kieran Telford, Benjamin Agu and James Law amongst the scorers for Reece Mudd's side against their National League North opponents.
