Liversedge saw their advantage at the top of the Premier Division cut whilst Division One leaders Dearne & District took another step towards lifting the title in the weekend's Macron NCEL action.

A 1-0 defeat at Thackley has seen the gap between Sedge and second-placed Beverley Town reduced to five points, Keanen Mannings' strike midway through the first half proving decisive for the Dennyboys who climb into tenth.

Beverley, meanwhile, won by the same scoreline at Eccleshill United but had to wait until stoppage time before getting the decider through Glen Sani.

Sheffield were unable to take advantage of the dropped points at the summit as they also fell to a 1-0 loss to stay third, Leon Howarth's early strike earning the points for hosts Rossington Main who are now only in the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference.

Fourth-placed Handsworth's match at basement side Wombwell Town was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch whist Barton Town have moved up into the play-off places with their 4-1 win over visitors Parkgate.

Lewis Stephens put them ahead in the thirteenth minute before they were pegged back by the Steelmen with a Shay Evans-Booth equaliser towards the start of the second half.

But, Stephens struck again to quickly restore the Swans' advantage before Joshua McKiernon and William Sutton made sure of the points in the final half-hour.

Tadcaster Albion fall out of the top five as they went down 4-2 at Albion Sports, a big win for the Lions who are now three points clear of the drop zone.

Jack Cook, Talent Ndlovu, Mohammed Qasim and Nathan Cartman got their goals whilst William Marshall and Matthew Mulhearn netted for the Brewers.

A 4-0 win at Frickley Athletic has moved Campion to within a point of the play-off positions with a goal each for Ewan Gregson, Sonny Whittingham, Jack Normanton and Shay Muirhead.

Charlie Thompson pounced in stoppage time to grab Pickering Town a 2-1 win at Horbury Town, a victory that had seemingly been denied them when George Whittaker had struck an 88th minute equaliser for the hosts.

Bottesford Town and Penistone Church shared a point each in a roller-coaster 3-3 draw at the Barrett Steel Stadium.

Lennon O'Grady and Reece High scored to give visitors Church a 2-0 lead by the 54th minute but a double from Okera Simmonds and a goal from Jack McMenemy swung the game in the home side's favour before Leon Hurles-Brook ensured a draw with his equaliser in the last quarter-of-an-hour.

And, Knaresborough Town were 4-1 home victors over Golcar United with Sam Barker, Jack Lazenby, Jack Dyche and Samuel Leverett getting on the scoresheet for Simon Parkes and Colin Heath's side.

In Division One, Dearne are now fifteen points clear of Wakefield AFC whose game at Club Thorne Colliery was postponed.

And, their 5-3 home victory over one of the sides still with a shout of catching them, Harrogate Railway Athletic, made it the best possible afternoon for Zeph Thomas' team.

The Rail raced into a 2-0 lead with early goals from Alex Ingham and Harris Eggleston before Justin Circuit halved their advantage towards the end of the first period.

Adam Baskerville levelled matters soon after the break with Joshua Dacre and Jamie Austin putting the hosts into a 4-2 lead by the hour mark.

Bradley Walker pulled one back for the visitors but Austin's second with fourteen minutes remaining made sure that any comeback from the away side was snuffed out.

Harrogate drop to fourth, eighteen points behind Dearne with four games in hand, replaced in third by Worsbrough Bridge Athletic who won 2-1 at Winterton Rangers.

Keelan Grist and Lloyd Smith struck for the visitors, sandwiching an equaliser from Charlie Weeks for the hosts who drop into the bottom three.

Fifth faced sixth and hosts Brigg Town maintained their six-point gap over visitors Leeds UFCA in dramatic fashion, Scott Hutchinson with a last-gasp leveller to ensure the Zebras keep the upper hand in the chase for the play-offs.

Athersley Recreation sauntered to a 5-0 home win over Maltby Main to leap out of the relegation zone, Kane Reece with a hat-trick whilst there were one each for Jack Woodcock and James Woodhouse.

There was also a hat-trick for Will Pennell in Louth Town's 4-1 defeat of visitors Glasshoughton Welfare who remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

George Jenkinson struck with two minutes remaining to claim a 2-1 win for Doncaster City at Crowle Colts whilst Harry Clapham added to an own goal from Kyle Austin as Selby Town beat hosts Goole AFC 2-0.

Nostell Miners Welfare played out the weekend's only goalless draw with visitors Ilkley Town whilst South Leeds picked up three big points as they won 3-2 at home to Route One Rovers on Friday night.

Mark Ferguson grabbed what proved to be their 79th minute winner after they had been pegged back from a 2-0 lead to secure a victory that lifts them to five points clear of danger.

And, Armthorpe Welfare's home clash with Appleby Frodingham joined the game at Thorne on the postponed list due to a waterlogged pitch.
