Tyla Bell’s first half strike cancelled out Carl Robinson’s opener for the hosts.

Glasshoughton’s lead only lasted a few minutes as Deakin netted for the second time to earn his team a share of the spoils.

Ben Hunter’s side remain fourth in the table but they have dropped off the pace after winning just one of their last four league matches.

They now trail leaders North Ferriby, who have won six league games on the bounce, by eight points and have played two more games.

Rossington host Selby Town on Saturday.

Armthorpe Welfare, whose home clash with Clipstone was postponed last weekend, travel to Nostell MW.
