Turner heads Pontefract to victory

NPL Division One East Round-Up (2)

Pontefract Collieries hero Ben Turner

Ben Turner’s late header propelled Pontefract Collieries to a 1-0 win at Hebburn Town and almost into the top half.

The Colls are looking up again after winning by the solitary goal for the second game running against opposition from the North East.

Yorkshire Amateur earned a good point after drawing 1-1 at play-offs chasing Cleethorpes Town.

Nathan Cartman gave the Ammers the lead in the second half.

Liversedge striker Ollie Fearon

It looks a two horse race for the title as Liversedge won 3-0 at fallen chasers Shildon who lost again to Yorkshire opposition.

This was despite playing with ten men for the final 30 minutes after Joe Walton’s dismissal for a second bookable offence.

Ollie Fearon scored twice alongside Nicky Walker’s goal.

Tadcaster Albion and Brighouse Town was abandoned due to floodlight issues.
