In Division One, Armthorpe Welfare had to make do with a point in their 1-1 draw at home to Glasshoughton Welfare. Ryan Ellison opened the scoring but Liam Flanagan rescued a draw for the visitors.

Club Thorne Colliery secured their first victory in more than two months as they finally played back at home, winning 2-1 against Yorkshire Amateur. They fell behind just after half-time to a Mo Cessay penalty but Dominic Mellor and Adam Baskerville turned the game on its head as Colliery moved up to 14th, ahead of Armthorpe on goal difference.

In the Central Midlands, Doncaster City had no game at the weekend and that allowed leaders Dinnington to increase their lead at the top of the Premier North table with a 3-0 win at AFC Phoenix.
