Thorne Colliery produced one of their best performances of the season when beating fifth-placed Appleby Frodingham 3-1 at Moorends Welfare.

The visitors looked to be on course to climb into the top three when taking a 17th minute lead.

But Kyle Palmer levelled the scores on the half hour with a Chris Hancock second half brace securing Thorne, who climbed above Doncaster rivals Brodsworth Welfare on goal difference, the spoils.

Askern bounced back to form with a 6-0 win over bottom club Newark Town, whose recent revival had offered them hope going into the game.
