Brandon Bradbury helped Hallam take a giant leap towards the title as his double edged them to a 3-1 win over ten man rivals North Ferriby in front of over 1000 people at Sandygate.

Due to their far superior goals difference, Hallam need four wins out of their final six matches to return to the NCEL’s top flight after an absence of 11 years.

Craig Denton’s side had to come from behind as Ferriby made a fast start through Danny Emerton.

The turning point was the dismissal of Ferriby’s Louis Kirk for a deliberate handball on the goal-line.

Liam Royles coolly converted the penalty.

Two beauties from Bradbury either side of half-time put Hallam in control and they were ultimately all they needed.

Brandon Bagley’s snatched a late 1-0 win for Parkgate at Rainworth Miners Welfare to keep Andy Dawson’s side’s faint play-offs hopes alive.

Hall Road Rangers were beaten 2-0 at home by Retford FC.

Glasshoughton Welfare’s poor form continued with the surprise 2-1 defeat at all but officially relegated Teversal who claimed their second win of the season.

Jordan Chippendale had sent Teversal down with his first half goal but two late goals have reprieved the basement side for another.

Nostell Miners Welfare and Worsbrough Bridge battled out a goal-less draw on Friday night.
