Promotion-chasing Pontefract Collieries propelled themselves into a great position after winning 2-0 at rivals Penistone Church.
With AFC Emley surprisingly losing 1-0 to Brigg Town at home, the in-form Colls are now in the driving seat for top spot as they have two games-in-hand on Emley.
Second half goals from Jordan Turner and Kane Reece gave Pontefract their priceless victory.
Hall Road Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw at a competitive Ollerton Town.

Eccleshill United stormed to a 5-1 victory at Dronfield Town – Matty Storr, Sam Bradley, Luke Harrop, Alex Cusack and Matty Mathers scored.
Yorkshire Amateur overturned a half-time deficit to win 2-1 at Winterton Rangers. Joel Hughes equalised before Carl Heard won it for the Ammers.
