Toolstation NCEL Match Review 2015/16 #39

20th December, 2015

Tadcaster Albion and Hemsworth Miners Welfare are the respective leaders of the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division and Division One at Christmas following Saturday's final matches before the festive period.

Tadcaster extended their advantage at the summit to three points with a 1-1 draw at Parkgate, Jimmy Beadle netting a late penalty to share the spoils after the home side had taken a first half lead through Jordan Turner.

Second-placed Worksop Town were beaten 3-1 at Clipstone, Kyle Jordan's 67th minute spot kick for the Tigers only a consolation after Oli Ryan had put the hosts ahead and a Nicky Walker brace on his debut secured the victory for the Cobras who climb to seventh.

Barton Town Old Boys and Handsworth Parramore closed the gap on the top two with victories, going above Bridlington Town who drew at Garforth Town.

Barton were 2-1 down at Albion Sports going into the final eighteen minutes but two goals in quick succession from Jake Vernon and Henry Gill put them in front only for Ferdinand Annor to equalise for the home side on 85 minutes, before a Matthew Mathers own goal and an injury time strike from Gareth Owen gave the visitors a 5-3 victory.

Handsworth were 2-1 home winners over Rainworth Miners Welfare, Gareth Griffiths and Alex Rippon with their goals before Jack Barnett halved the deficit for the Wrens in stoppage time.

Bridlington took a point from their game at Garforth Town which saw late drama as both sides scored in added on time, a Curtly Martin-Wyatt penalty for the hosts and an Andy Norfolk strike for the visitors, as it finished 3-3.

Basement side Brigg Town picked up their first league win since September in a 2-0 victory at Staveley Miners Welfare, Paul Grimes' 27th minute opener added to with an Alex Pugh own goal towards the end of the encounter, and they are now just two points adrift.

A James Kitson brace ensured a 2-0 home victory for Nostell Miners Welfare over Retford United whilst Pickering Town's 73rd minute winner meant Pickering Town left Cleethorpes Town with all three points in a 3-2 win.

There was a goalless draw for Armthorpe Welfare at Athersley Recreation and Maltby Main's home game with Pontefract Collieries was abandoned at half-time with the score at 1-1 due to floodlight failure.

Hemsworth lead Division One by seven points after their 4-1 victory at Yorkshire Amateur, Bill Law giving them a half-time lead before Chris Hitchings' own goal doubled their advantage early in the second period, and Shane Kelsey and Danny Critchlow completed the win.

Hull United started the day in second but lost ground with a 1-1 draw at Westella VIP, the Citizens looking certain for a win after Martin Foster's goal midway through the first half but Joe McFadyen guided home an injury time equaliser.

AFC Mansfield go above Hull after their 5-0 win at bottom side Lincoln Moorlands Railway, a first half own goal added to in the second period by a Dean Rick brace and further goals from Ryan Williams and Phil Buxton.

Bottesford Town are up into fourth thanks to their 4-2 victory over visitors Eccleshill United with all the goals coming in the opening period, a Terry Barwick spot kick and a Jason Pembleton strike proving to be vital.

A 1-1 home draw with Hallam sees AFC Emley drop to fifth whilst Penistone Church are up to sixth following their 3-0 win at home to Knaresborough Town, Daniel Joynes' opening minute goal added to by Steve Kenworthy and Oliver Fearon.

A Liam Greenfield hat-trick helped Shirebrook Town to a 6-2 win at Hall Road Rangers whilst there was also an away victory for Grimsby Borough, 3-1 at Winterton Rangers, and Dronfield Town drew 1-1 at Glasshoughton Welfare.

And, there was one postponement with Teversal's home game with Selby Town called off due to an unfit pitch at Carnarvon Street.
