Liversedge are on the verge of lifting the Premier Division title whilst a relegation zone finish is confirmed for Glasshoughton Welfare in Division One after the weekend's Macron NCEL action.

Sedge only need two points from their remaining six games to be crowned champions as they won 2-0 at second-placed Beverley Town to open up a seventeen point gap at the summit.

Antony Brown struck twice early in the second half to claim his side's seventh straight victory and a win next Saturday at Parkgate will secure them top spot.

It was also a good weekend for Barton Town and Tadcaster Albion in their chase for play-off places as they both picked up three points on their travels.

Lewis Stephens struck on 65 minutes to give Barton a 1-0 win at Frickley Athletic and the Swans move up to third, going above Campion who were beaten 3-1 at Knaresborough Town on Friday night.

That game was goalless until the hour mark when Ben Gelder put the hosts in front and Slater Barkham-Barnes doubled their advantage only for Chinedu Osadebe to get on the scoresheet for Campion with seven minutes remaining.

Aaron White, though, netted in stoppage time to claim a victory that moves Knaresborough up into tenth spot.

Tadcaster, meanwhile, move up into the top five, three points behind Campion as they won 3-1 at bottom side Wombwell Town, Charlie Owen, Oliver Green and William Marshall with the goals for the Brewers.

Oliver Fearon had netted what was an equaliser for Wombwell but they fell to an eighth consecutive defeat and are close to having a finish in the relegation zone confirmed as they are now sixteen points away from safety with seven games remaining.

Rossington Main have bolstered their survival hopes with a 2-1 home win over Pickering Town, Ross Hannah's penalty added to by Myron Gibbons as they beat the Pikes who had taken the lead through Souleymane Coulibaly.

Main have closed the gap to Albion Sports to one point and have two games in hand of the Lions who are just above them and the dreaded dotted line.

Elsewhere, a goalless draw for Handsworth at Horbury Town sees them drop out of the play-off zone whilst Sheffield keep their promotion hopes very much alive with a 3-1 home victory over Golcar United.

They trailed through an Alfie Wilkinson strike but Danny Edwards quickly equalised and a second half brace from Alexander Hardwick means they are three points away from the play-off zone with four matches in hand.

And, it was honours even between Parkgate and their visitors Thackley, Shay Evans-Booth putting the Steelmen in front before Luke Brooks levelled for the visitors in a 1-1 draw.

For the first time since the end of September, there was a full Saturday afternoon programme in Division One with eleven games taking place.

Glasshoughton's relegation zone finish was confirmed as they were beaten 6-0 at Club Thorne Colliery, Luke Williams' double added to by Marc Newsham, Alexander Peterson, Jordan Buckham and Andrew Wright piling on the misery for the basement side.

That result, coupled with Athersley Recreation's 5-0 home win over Louth Town, means they can no longer escape the bottom three.

The Rec picked up three much-needed points in their quest for survival thanks to goals from Keenan Davies-Mosley, Kane Reece, McKenzie Paisley, Spenser Sheppard and Cyrus Rowe.

The other two sides in the relegation zone were also beaten with Nostell Miners Welfare losing 2-0 at home to South Leeds whilst Winterton Rangers went down 3-0 to visitors Route One Rovers.

Tyler Polwarth and Reece Evans scored for Leeds whilst, for the second game in a row, Reece Thompson struck twice and Zak Khan also netted for Rovers.

At the top of the table, leaders Dearne & District stay nine points clear at the summit as they won 4-0 at Armthorpe Welfare, Cian Guest, Adam Baskerville, Jamie Austin and Justin Circuit with the goals that keep them firm favourites for the title.

Second-placed Wakefield AFC, however, are not giving up the chase with Ethan Kachosa, Eliel Anku and Christopher Salt the scorers in a 3-0 home victory over Doncaster City.

Worsbrough Bridge Athletic are up to third as they won 3-0 at home to Leeds UFCA whose play-off ambitions were dented by the loss, Jake Squires' opener added to by a William Puffett own goal and a late penalty from Keelan Grist.

The Briggers go above Harrogate Railway Athletic who went down 1-0 at Brigg Town, Reece York with the decider for the Zebras with thirteen minutes remaining.

That victory bolsters Brigg's play-off hopes in fifth as they have now opened up a ten-point gap between themselves and UFCA who are sixth but have four games in hand.

Nathan Perks' hat-trick helped Goole AFC to a 6-3 home win against Ilkley Town in what was a breathless game at the Victoria Pleasure Ground.

And, there were 2-0 home victories for Crowle Colts and Selby Town with Henry Cook and Lee Ridley securing success for Colts in the opening period against Maltby Main.

The Robins left it later to get the three points against ten-man Appleby Frodingham, Harry Clapham and Jake Morrison with their goals in the final twenty minutes.
