Four games managed to beat the weather to become the first League matches played in February.

Long Eaton United consolidated sixth place in the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division winning 1-0 at home to Winterton Rangers, Alex Steadman grabbing the only goal of the game on six minutes.

As one of the seven sides who have applied for promotion to the UniBond League, they may feel they still have a slight chance of going despite being twelve points behind Mickleover Sports as they have a couple of games in hand of the leaders.

Maltby Main have moved up to eleventh after they produced a remarkable comeback to claim a 2-2 draw at home to Parkgate.

Mark Caine struck twice in five minutes just after the half-hour mark to give the visitors what was a seemingly comfortable cushion going into the last eleven minutes.

But, Maltby were not going to be denied as Rob Branagan halved the deficit on 79 minutes before, five minutes later, Neil Longhurst also found the net to share the spoils.

There was also late drama at Langwith Road as a last-minute strike from Chris Coy earned Thackley a 2-1 victory at Shirebrook Town.

Darryll Leach had put the away side ahead on the hour mark and Shirebrook, who are in the bottom four, looked to be heading for defeat when they levelled the scores.

Marc Sherlock grabbed the equaliser on 85 minutes but they could not hold on and Coy struck to give Thackley the win that keeps them eighth but now four points clear of the side below them, Hallam.

In the only Division One game played, Scarborough Athletic's seemingly relentless run to the title continued with a 6-0 win at home to Bottesford Town.

Rob Ellis started the scoring in the second minute but the Seadogs had to wait until early into the second period before they added to that.

David Hartas doubled their lead before four goals in fifteen minutes made sure of the win to move them eleven points clear with games in hand.

Daniel Gray grabbed a double whilst the League's top scorer Ryan Blott and Richard Medcalf also found the net in a comfortable victory in front of a crowd of 477 at Queensgate.
