Northern Premier League Round-Up
On loan striker Harry Jessop was once again the hero for Pickering Town who moved up to tenth after beating Brighouse Town 1-0.
Young Jessop pounced on the half-hour mark after Wayne Brooksby hit the post.
Pickering had plenty of chances throughout and the fact Brighouse’s on loan Manchester United goalkeeper Jacob Carney was their man of the match under-lined that.
Jack Stockdill was the headline grabber for the second week running as Ossett United pulled off a heroic 1-1 draw at giants Marske United.
Marske have been blowing away teams for fun, including two leagues higher Blyth Spartans, but Ossett gave them quite a fright.
A goal after half-time put Wayne Benn’s side on the back-foot.
Ossett’s breakthrough came with 11 minutes to go. Jack Normanton did the hard work and he crossed for captain Stockdill to fire home.
Tadcaster Albion were undone by late goals in the 4-2 defeat at Runcorn Linnets.
Erico Sousa and Bailey Thompson scored for Tad.
In Division One South East, Stocksbridge Park Steels had a night to forget as they lost 6-2 at Leek Town with nine men.
Luke Mangham put them ahead, but it all unravelled when Ross Goodwin was sent off before the break and Michael Trench followed him after the interval.
Jono Margetts’ penalty placed Frickley Athletic in front at Glossop North End, but Dave Frecklington’s men lost 2-1.
Nathan Cartman was the last gasp hero in Scarborough Athletic’s last gasp 2-1 derby day win at Whitby Town.
