Pontefract Collieries striker Aaron Moxam
Aaron Moxam’s hat-trick in the 5-1 win at local rivals Hemsworth Miners Welfare propelled promotion-chasing Pontefract Collieries into second place.
Moxam hit two in the first half and completed his treble seven minutes into the second half, from the penalty spot. Vaughan Redford and Eli Hey were also on target for the Colls.
A Jack Greenhough own goal was the only blot on Ponte’s copybook.
Pontefract are now seven points behind leaders AFC Mansfield, with five games-in-hand.
Pickering Town remain in the promotion race after a 5-1 win over Albion Sports. Ryan Blott scored twice, with Joe Danby, Billy Logan and George Eustance chipping in.
New Bridlington Town striker Gary Bradshaw found the net on his debut with the equaliser in the 3-1 win over Worksop Town.
Archie Brown and Chris Adams secured the points for Curtis Woodhouse’s men in the second half.
