Non-league: Rossington Main end 2024 on a high as Doncaster City maintain title challenge
Rossington Main ended 2024 with a third consecutive victory after a 1-0 win away at struggling Winterton Rangers.
Bradley Grayson's early effort was the difference as Main remain tenth and just five points off the play-offs.


Elsewhere, the Division One derby between Club Thorne Colliery and Armthorpe Welfare played out a goalless draw in Thorne's first home game in more than two months after their well-publicised issues. A crowd of just shy of 300 watched the stalemate unfold as both teams remain outside the relegation places.
In the Central Midlands, Doncaster City kept up their title challenge with a 5-1 defeat of Rossington Main Reserves. The only goal of the opening half came from a Jordan Turner penalty. It wasn’t until the 68th minute that Ryley D’Sena doubled the lead before Turner made it three from another spot-kick. Rossington’s Jack Ogley got one back with ten minutes to go before Fallet Bamba and Josh Meade added gloss.
Hatfield Town came from two down at Blidworth Welfare to pull off a 4-2 win. The hosts started well, Ben Copestake opening the scoring before Jack Reeves made it 2-0. Hatfield finally got into gear, Callum Stockton reducing the margin just before half-time. Fraser Hurst got Hatfield on level terms just after the restart with Stockton getting his second shortly after. Tom Rich then notched a fourth as Hatfield moved up to fourth in the table.
Elite AFC were another team to come from behind as they edged out SJR Worksop 2-1. SJR took a first half lead, Aaron Redfern the scorer, but Elite claimed the points thanks to second half strikes from Archie Micklethwaite and Jacob Tupling.
