Toolstation NCEL Match Review 2021/22 #50

13th February, 2022

Grimsby Borough returned to winning ways to restore their six point advantage at the top of the Premier Division on another goal-filled Saturday afternoon of Toolstation NCEL action.

A dramatic game at the Bradley Football Development Centre saw the sides locked at 2-2 going into the final five minutes before Sam Denton had seemingly given the visiting Garforth Town a late victory.

But, a quickfire brace from Jack Debnam to complete his hat-trick secured a 4-3 win for Borough to move thirteen points clear of their third-placed opponents as the title race swung in their direction.

Eccleshill United lost ground in second with a 2-1 defeat at Goole AFC, Aiden Day putting the Eagles ahead just before the half-hour mark but Samuel Cable struck twice within a minute to give the hosts the lead by the interval which they maintained until the final whistle.

Sherwood Colliery remain ten points behind the top two in fourth as they went down 4-3 at home to Winterton Rangers, Daniel Walker grabbing a winner for the visitors on 88 minutes, just seconds after Jamie York had thought he had rescued a point for the hosts.

A couple of Nathan Keightley penalties helped Penistone Church to a 5-1 home victory over Knaresborough Town that strengthens their grip on fifth spot, three points above Winterton who climb to sixth after their win.

Emley AFC notched up their fourth successive victory and clean sheet as Joe Jagger and Alex Metcalfe struck in the opening quarter of their 2-0 defeat of visitors Thackley.

Ross Duggan's second debut for AFC Mansfield began in spectacular fashion as the frontman struck four times in nineteen first half minutes to give them a 4-2 home victory against Barton Town.

Jack Normanton and Josimar Bradshaw netted for Silsden AFC in their 2-0 win at home to Staveley Miners Welfare whilst late goals for Louis Scott and Thomas Pearson snatched Bottesford Town a 2-1 victory at Maltby Main.

The Division One title chase continues to be relentless with all four of the top sides winning, so Hallam keep their three point lead at the summit, Liam Royles' brace helping them to a narrow 3-2 success at Dronfield Town.

Second-placed North Ferriby beat hosts Worsbrough Bridge Athletic 2-0, a Daniel East penalty and a Richard Medcalf strike securing the points, whilst Scott Phillips' 34th goal of the season on 85 minutes ensured a 2-1 home win for third-placed Brigg Town over Rossington Main who stay fifth.

Harrogate Railway Athletic now have an eight point cushion in the play-offs in fourth after a 5-0 defeat of visitors Teversal who remain bottom of the table, Marcus Day notching up a hat-trick for the Rail.

A Liam Flanagan brace means that Selby Town are outside of the play-off zone on goal difference after their 3-1 win at Glasshoughton Welfare and Retford FC keep their hopes up in seventh as they beat Nostell Miners Welfare 5-1 at the Rail Ground.

Matthew Parkin scored twice late on to rubber-stamp the victory that moves Retford seven points clear of eighth-placed Parkgate who drew 2-2 at home to Armthorpe Welfare, Haydn Ward's late leveller for the Steelmen grabbing the hosts a point.

Two of the bottom three picked up victories to help their battle for survival with Swallownest winning 3-1 at home to the side just above them outside the relegation zone, Clipstone, Jack Watts, Samuel Foulds and Thomas Hartshorn with the goals that close the gap to two points.

And, a second win in three games for FC Humber United means they are now only six points away from safety, Szymon Czubik with two of their goals in a 5-1 home win against Shirebrook Town.

Hall Road Rangers' home game with Rainworth Miners Welfare was postponed near kick-off due to a waterlogged pitch whilst, in the Premier Division, Hemsworth Miners Welfare's clash with visitors Athersley Recreation was called off in the week.
