Brad Ricketts scored the winner for Barton Town Old Boys at Maltby Main

Barton Town Old Boys returned to action after a month off because of the weather and scored two late goals to win 2-1 at Maltby Main in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division.

Brian Cusworth had given Maltby the lead in the first half, but Barton hit twice in the last 20 minutes through Danny Chambers and Brad Ricketts to nick all three points.

Cusworth, who was returning to the Maltby, broke the deadlock after good work from Oliver Fearon and Bradley Dockerty.

Barton came into the game in the second half, while Maltby had several players cautioned.

Maltby goalkeeper Ben Brunt had to make a brilliant save before Chambers, who was playing for Ossett Town earlier this season, equalised.

Ricketts then grabbed the winner with ten minutes to go.

Maltby threw bodies forward in a bid to salvage a point, but Barton held-on.
