Toolstation NCEL Premier Division Round-Up
Luke Stewart was at the double as Penistone Church gave new manager Steve Lenthall the perfect start to life in the first team dugout.
The 4-0 victory over Thackley closed the chapter on a turbulent ten days which began with Ian Richards leaving after 12 years in charge to take over at Stocksbridge Park Steels.
Brett Lovell was anointed as the heir to the throne but he has had to change his mind due to family reasons and he passed the baton onto ex-Reserve team boss Lenthall.
Results have not been great this season but for Lenthall it was a dream debut with the first half.
Nathan Keightley, Stewart and Tom Brennan all contributed as Church sowed the points up by the 53rd minute mark.
Ryan John was the hero as Emley finally won for the first time in the Premier Division thanks to the superb 3-2 victory at previously Sherwood Colliery.
George Doyle scored twice for Emley.
Jaydan Sandhu was the man of the moment again as Albion Sports secured a third consecutive victory with the impressive 1-0 win at high-flying Maltby Main.
Eccleshill United are up to fourth after the 3-1 victory at Barton Town.
Two quick-fire late second half goals from Jonny Irving and Sumalli Cissa swung the three points towards Lee Elam’s men.
In-form Talent Ndlovu broke the deadlock in the first half but that was cancelled out by Luke Hemmingway.
A early penalty was the difference as Athersley Rec were beaten 1-0 by fellow strugglers Bottesford Town.
Silsden lost 3-0 at home to leaders Grimsby Borough.
Injury-hit Knaresborough Town were undone 4-0 by Staveley Miners Welfare who scored twice in each half.
The final two goals came in the last six minutes.
